The school hall of St Margaret College Middle School, Cospicua, was recently transformed into a colourful ‘language market’ promoting the different cultures of the eight languages taught at the school: Maltese, English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Chinese and Arabic.
The aim behind the event was to promote cultural diversity and enable the students to enjoy and appreciate the identity of each culture through a variety of activities. These included traditional dances on stage, exhibitions of souvenirs and artefacts as well as sampling of various food and drinks reflecting the identity and heritage of the different cultures.
A number of ambassadors from the countries promoted as well as educational officers also visited the event, which was organised by teachers and students.
