Youth-Local-Council

The aim of having a Youth Local Council with the Council is to encourage youths between 14 and 18 years closer to the community.

Activities are organised by such youths and the youth council participates in all activities that council organises. During the past year the members of the Youth Council organised a Clean Up session with the collaboration of Din l-Art Helwa. The members together with other youuths from the locality cleaned up the recreational site next to tat-Torri ta’ Qalet Marku in Bahar ic-Caghaq.

During the event organised by the Local Council, Niltaqghu fil-Pjazza, the youths organised traditional games in the Naxxar’s main square. All locals from all walk of life had the opportunity to play traditional games such as il-passju and races with carton cars in the main sqaure whilst the square was closed for all means of traffic.

In collaboration with the youth worker Denise Farrugia, the youths are finalising a project for a competition organised by Agenzija Zghazagh. This project entitles the winner of the competition a fund of €3,000, as to have the project implemented within the locality.

The Members have created a facebook page solely dedicated to the Naxxar Youth Local Council to keep the general public informaed of the activities being organised.
