BCA Organises Rubble Wall Building Course To Safeguard Maltese Tradition

The Building and Construction Authority is continuing to invest in skills development within the construction sector through a structured training programme, including a specialised course on the traditional craft of dry stone wall building.

The course, which attracted more than 40 applicants, including female participants, combines theoretical learning with hands-on training.

Practical sessions were held in Fgura at Park l-Inħawi, where participants contributed directly to an environmental project led by Project Green.

During a site visit, Jonathan Attard, Minister for Justice and Reform of the Construction Sector, praised the initiative, noting its role in preserving traditional Maltese skills while strengthening industry competencies.

BCA Chief Executive Roderick Bonnici said the course aims to raise awareness and provide structured, high-quality training, with successful participants receiving a Level 2 certification.

Fgura Mayor Clayton Cascun Portelli welcomed the project, highlighting its benefits for the community. The walls are being built using recycled stone, reinforcing sustainability while enhancing public spaces.
