The 7th edition of ŻiguŻajg, the arts festival for children and young people, was launched by the Culture Minister on Friday.

The festival has a multidisciplinary programme and 25 projects, some of which are to be taken on by commissioned Maltese artists.

There are more than 150 artists participating in this edition. There is also a specific programme for Gozo where some projects will be exhibited to ensure that it is made as accessible as possible.

The festival also includes the participation of international artists from 12 countries over three continents.

At Friday’s launch, several children were asked to write down what they wished to do and see around them. Their wishes were tied to plants at Castille Square.

ŻiguŻajg is being held in Valletta until November 26.
