As part of the Malta Art Biennale 2026, students aged 7+ are cordially invited to come get their hands dirty for the event ‘Voices for Freedom’ happening at MUŻA, Valletta.

Children are invited fun, hands-on art activity using paint, where they create colourful hand-print outlines and decorate them with drawings and symbols that represent freedom and fairness. These handprints come together to form a vibrant “Freedom Wall”, celebrating creativity and shared ideas.

Through storytelling, artworks, and real museum objects, children will explore Malta’s history during the time of the Order of St John. In a gentle and age-appropriate way, they learn about the lives of enslaved people, the courage they showed, and how they tried to gain their freedom.

With guided discussion and interactive moments, children are encouraged to think about kindness, fairness, and human rights, and how these values still matter in the world today. The workshop supports empathy, curiosity, and creative thinking, helping young participants understand why freedom and dignity are important — both in the past and in their own lives.

Ilħna għall-Ħelsien

Bħala parti mill-Biennale tal-Arti ta’ Malta 2026, studenti ta’ 7 snin jew aktar huma mistednin jiġu jħammġu jdejhom fl-avveniment ‘Ilħna għall-Ħelsien’, li se jsir f’MUŻA, il-Belt Valletta.

It-tfal huma mistednin għal attività divertenti u prattika bl-użu taż-żebgħa, fejn joħolqu stampi mlewnin ta’ jdejhom u jżejnuhom bi tpinġijiet u simboli li jirrappreżentaw il-libertà u l-ġustizzja. Dawn l-istampi mbagħad jingħaqdu flimkien biex jiffurmaw “il-Ħajt tal-Ħelsien”, li jiċċelebra l-kreattività u l-qsim ta’ ideat.

Permezz ta’ stejjer, xogħlijiet tal-arti u oġġetti mill-mużew, it-tfal se jesploraw l-istorja ta’ Malta fi żmien l-Ordni ta’ San Ġwann. B’mod ġentili u adattat għall-età tagħhom, se jitgħallmu dwar il-ħajja tal-ilsiera, il-kuraġġ li wrew, u kif ippruvaw jiksbu l-ħelsien tagħhom.

B’diskussjoni gwidata u waqtiet interattivi, it-tfal se jiġu mħeġġa jaħsbu dwar il-qalb tajba, il-ġustizzja, u d-drittijiet tal-bniedem, u kif dawn il-valuri għadhom importanti fid-dinja tal-lum. Il-workshop jippromovi l-empatija, il-kurżità u l-ħsieb kreattiv, u jgħin lill-parteċipanti jifhmu għala l-libertà u d-dinjità huma essenzjali, kemm fl-imgħoddi kif ukoll fil-ħajja tagħhom stess.
