Non-profit organisation Move, set up in 2013 to promote innovation in sports and culture, is collaborating with the Valletta 2018 Foundation to produce a series of pop-up sports and culture events – to take place in various public spaces around Malta and Gozo through the Shake It programme. The events are being supported by GasanMamo Insurance.

Move pursues to encourage innovation in sports and culture as an educational and informative tool for all citizens. Members of this organisation are constantly promoting highly-engaging, purposely developed community activities to endorse positive experiences, inspiring future generations to be more physically active and leading them from mental blocks to mental breakthroughs.

“We are overwhelmed by the work being done by Move with children and young people coming from different levels of society. Move is an exclusive combination of mixed experiences driven by the same passion and constant urge for innovation and creativity. Both GasanMamo Insurance and Move share the same vision – that of promoting sports and culture as values treasured in cultural identities and addressing social problems creatively through innovation in sports and culture,” said Julian Mamo, managing director at GasanMamo Insurance.

“Our mission is to create social change through sports and culture. We believe that the innovative use of community spaces through appropriate positive activities like sport and culture can empower community cohesion. We also believe that this practice, once introduced, can change the cultural landscape and make a difference to the community. This will not only support Valletta as a capital of culture but also sustain its legacy in the years to come,” said Move founder and director Cynthia Debono.
