Coach tours through EU projects

Coach tours highlighting the benefits of Cohesion Policy 2007-2013 are being held on November 26 and 27 by the Planning and Priorities Coordination Division within the Office of the Prime Minister.

Rotta: EU07-13 will give the public a first-hand opportunity to find out more how EU funds are being invested in Malta and Gozo through six routes, covering a select number of projects co-financed through the European Regional Development Fund, Cohesion Fund and the European Social Fund. Four routes will be visiting various projects in Malta and two will be touring projects in Gozo.

The tours will stop at different project locations for a brief site visit and presentation. The selected projects target a number of local interest themes such as heritage, tourism, social inclusion, health, education, employment, information technology, and the environment.

Each route will be run once on Saturday and once on Sunday, to allow visitors to take more than one tour. Refreshments will be provided for registered visitors. The projects will also remain open on both days for those members of the public who wish to visit individual projects at their leisure.

Bookings for the coach tours are open until noon on November 24.
