The 9/11 tragedy will this year be commemorated on October 4 by the American Embassy because today it coincides with the Muslim month of Ramadan.

The embassy is urging interested individuals and organisations to propose creative ideas for a community-based project that would enable people from different backgrounds, faiths and ethnicities to come together.

It said it was already considering an event for school children on the theme of cross cultural understanding or a writing competition among students on religious and ethnic tolerance.

Ideas can be sent to usembmalta@state.gov by Monday.
