| The Malta High Commission in Australia organized the launch of the | youth project aimed at young Maltese-Australians in Sydney by means of a get-together at the La Valette Social Centre in Blacktown, on Sunday 29 July, 2001. |
| The youth project has already been launched with | success in Canberra and Melbourne last year. The aim is that young people take more interest in Malta and in their Maltese heritage. |
| The programme in Sydney was introduced by Mr Gejtu | Pace, President of the La Valette Social Centre and Master of Ceremonies for the evening, who offered the facilities of the Centre for the younger generation to start their own network. The High Commissioner for Malta, Mr Ives De Barro, addressed those present on the youth project and encouraged them to contribute actively to the initiative like their friends in Melbourne and in Canberra. He also mentioned the monthly newsletter "Ghaz-Zghazagh" launched by the High Commission in July 2000 which contains articles on Malta, a "teach yourself Maltese" segment and articles written by young people on their experiences of growing up as Maltese-Australians. |
| A video launched by the Roots program of the Ministry | of Tourism: "Where do I come from, dear nanna?" was also screened. The gathering was covered by Mr Frank Zammit of SBS ethnic radio for Maltese listeners throughout Australia. |
| The Malta High Commission intends to launch the | project in Newcastle, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, in the near future, with a view to create a network of Maltese-Australian youths. |
