Fifteen students from the Wistin Camilleri Gozo Centre for Art and Crafts are on an eight-day trip to Austria as part of a student exchange programme.

The students, who are following courses in lace making, candle works, thread filigree and traditional gold embroidery, are being hosted by the Landwirtschaftliche Fachschule Freistadt boarding school.

The visit will be reciprocated by a group of 17 Austrian students who will be visiting Gozo in May.

The Wistin Camilleri Gozo Centre for Art and Crafts is presently undergoing extension works under an EU co-funded project that includes the construction and setting up of a Crafts Incubation Centre.

The centre has over 1,100 students in various age groups.
