Il-Kunsill Nazzjonali taż-Żgħażagħ 🇲🇹
Malta’s National Youth Council 👋

🇬🇧 Every year, KNŻ formulates a number of youth-focused pre-budget proposals to be sent to the Maltese Government as it undergoes its pre-budget stage for the Autumn budget. This year was no exception, as for the past few weeks the Advocacy office has been deliberating with with our Member Organisations and collecting proposals from youths throughout Malta and Gozo. The Council has compiled a number of pre-budget proposals which was sent to the Finance Minister Hon Edward Scicluna earlier today.

🇲🇹 Kull sena, il-KNŻ jifformula numru ta' proposti ffokati fuq iż-żgħażagħ għall-proċess tal-pre-baġit, sabiex jintbagħtu lill-Gvern Malti. Dawn imbagħad jiġu kkunsidrati flimkien ma' proposti oħra ta' bi tħejjija għall-baġit tas-sena li jmiss. Din is-sena mhix eċċezzjoni, għax għall-aħħar ġimgħat l-uffiċċju tal-'Advocacy' kien qed jiddelibera mal-Organizzazzjonijiet Membri tagħna u jiġbor proposti minn żgħażagħ madwar Malta u Għawdex. Il-Kunsill ġabar numru ta’ proposti ta’ qabel il-baġit li ntbagħtu lill-Ministru tal-Finanzi l-Onor Edward Scicluna aktar kmieni llum.

Happy International Youth Day 2020! With this yea

Happy International Youth Day 2020!

With this year’s theme being "Youth Engagement for Global Action" we should remember the importance of youth engagement and representation and how it can shape and enrich national processes and formal institutional politics.

As KNŻ, this day has always been an opportunity to engage and celebrate with fellow youth activists, however, given the circumstances Youth Day celebrations had to be cancelled. During these times we appeal to youth to stay safe and work to reduce the number of cases being registered.

Covid-19 has stopped many things..but not the demand for blood.

The National Blood Transfusion Service is encouraging those persons who are healthy to keep on donating blood as hospital patients are still relying on your lifesaving donations.

You can donate every day including Sundays and Public Holidays from 8.00 am - 6.00 pm near St. Luke's Hospital.

This year, the National Youth Council is introduci

This year, the National Youth Council is introducing a system of facilitators in the National Youth Parliament. They will be helping the groups as the groups are no longer divided into large and small groups. Facilitators were selected specifically based on their experience.

Introducing the facilitators!

Nigel Caruana- Facilitator of the ‘Economic Consequences of Covid-19’ group
"As a young man with a passion for activism and as an economics student, I was excited to help young people working on the topic of economic effects."

Liam Axisa - Facilitator of the ‘Irregular Immigration’ group
"The issue of irregular immigration is very pertinent to the time we are living in. As a law student going into fifth year, human rights discussions have been an integral part of my life over the past few years, so I am excited to help participants in this topic. ”

Kay Dimech - Facilitator of the group ‘Art and Sports Opportunities in Malta’
"As a person who grew up immersed in the Arts, I can understand the struggles and limitations one faces of following one's heart to excel and succeed in that activity which they feel so passionate about. To this end, I am thrilled to be mentoring the participants of this theme and give more light and voice to the importance of the Arts and Sports, whilst providing more support in sustaining the growth of talented individuals."

Gianluca Vella - Facilitator of the group ‘Youth Activism in Politics’
"Just as a tree is nothing without its roots, youth activism is nothing without a factual basis. Therefore this opportunity is one through which we can work towards a Maltese political environment freed from partisan greed, full of people with a vocation ... a dream that has grown in me from those who have made the same opportunities possible in the past and the present. ”

Kristina Filletti will be coordinating the National Youth Parliament in her role as National Officer.

Applications close on July 27. To apply, check link in bio.
