Here's the brainwashing bit, Mark Anthony Sammut, just in case you missed it. It was just above your excerpt ;)

"4. Li tipprovdi lill-istudenti bl-gharfien u l-prattika tal-principji u l-karatteristici tal-mudell Demokratiku Kristjan tat-tmexxija politika, b’riferenza wkoll ghad-dokumenti u taghlim iehor tal-Knisja."

What about the subjects and leanings given to them?
Do you think that we were born yesterday?

From the school's facebook group:

METODOLOGIJA
1. Il-kors ser jikkonsisti f’diversi metodi ta’ taghlim. Il-lekcers moghtija minn mexxejja politici b’esperjenza u minn persuni ohra kwalifikati kemm fi studji u xoghol relatati mat-tmexxija politika bhal ma huma l-kommunikazzjoni u l-organizazzjoni , ser ikunu l-qofol tal-kors.
2. Matul il-kors jinghata spazju ghad-diskussjoni tat-temi tal-lekcers, f’ambjent formali u informali.
3. Il-kors ser jipprovdi tutor ghall-istudenti b’mod individwali jew fi gruppi biex jinghatalhom servizz ta’ mentoring.
4. Il-kors ser jaghmel uzu tajjeb u mifrux fit-tqassim ta’ materjal ghall-qari permezz tal-internet.
5. L-istudenti ser jigu mitluba jaghmlu erba’ bicciet xoghol, tnejn miktuba u tnejn f’forma ta’ prezentazzjoni pubblika. Dawn jistghu isiru bil-Malti jew bl-Ingliz. Trid tigi pprezentata tezi fuq suggett relatat mal-kors u approvat bil-quddiem. Kull xoghol irid jigi komplut fi zmien stipulat. Ser jigi mheggeg l-uzu tal-internet mill-istudenti fis-sottomissjoni tax-xoghol taghhom lit-tutors.

Can you explain where's the brainwashing part?

A very positive initiative to help young people involved in politics to gain the necessary skills and knowledge. Prosit and keep it up!

WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

If this is not brainwashing, I don't know what is.

What do we need a school to teach politics. Arent we bombarded enough through the media, with some even becoming indoctrinated . After all , all one needs to master to become a good politician , is to learn how not to keep promises, paint a nice picture to the public, be a good orator, who is able to disguise lies when orating.

The negative comments from Labour supporters surely means that they do not understand the concept of a political school and that they still regard it as a topic of hatred and disputes.

The topic of this school is completely the opposite....diplomacy, economics, international relations, etc etc.

What's this got to do with Gozo as a waning PN fortress???? Ohh come one...will this country ever get a break for some mentalities?

Plato said "Give me children and I shall mould them the way I want".
In Maltese "Ilwi d-dielja meta' ghadha zarguna".

And they had the gall to criticize Labour and the Brigata that inmstructed children in education and love for their country!

@P.Aquilina. Well, as I know you, I was sure you'd be defending your Party. Anything it does, is always good. Maybe Gozo is a waning PN fortress, who knows?

When Joseph Muscat proposed that the voting age for Local Council Elections be lowered to16 years, many PN apologists came out to attack him for trying to indoctrinate our youth with politics. Now let's see what they have to say now that their party is opening a school for politics of all places in Gozo. Why Gozo and not Malta? What happened to the AZAD foundation?
