In a heartwarming show of solidarity, 11-year-old cancer survivor Luca Piccione, alongside his parents, Roberta and Raymond, took on an ambitious project to aid the charity Puttinu Cares. The Piccione family, joined by 70 volunteers, including families navigating the challenges of childhood cancer, underwent a labor-intensive process of preparing 4200 Maltese ftira.

The preparation kicked off at midnight, marking the start of a tireless effort by all involved. Despite the exhaustive work, Luca and his parents were seen with bright smiles, proud to contribute to such a meaningful cause.

Their endeavour is in support of the Puttinu Cares fundraising marathon, an event that has become a beacon of hope amongst the local community. Set to take place on Good Friday, the Puttinu Cares marathon maintains its yearly commitment to assist children with cancer and their families.

The Picciones, deeply moved by their own experiences, are not just participants but are deeply involved in the telethon, hoping to inspire others through their actions.

The family’ dedication serves as a poignant reminder of the difference collective efforts can make in the lives of those facing profound challenges.

The Art Explora Festival, set against the scenic backdrop of the Xatt Pinto Waterfront, has officially opened its doors, offering an enriching cultural experience from March 21st to March 31st. At the heart of this festival is an extraordinary 47-metre long and 55-metre high catamaran, a collaborative masterpiece by Axel de Beaufort and Guillaume Verdier, showcasing the world’s first floating museum.

This inaugural event in Malta invites up to 2,000 daily visitors aboard for a unique journey of artistic and technological exploration.

Over ten days, the festival will host an array of activities spanning film, dance, circus arts, music, and visual arts, engaging both local and international artists and audiences in over 30 initiatives and 55 activities. This vibrant program aims to reflect on environmental sustainability, social justice, and well-being, encouraging participants to contemplate and act on these crucial issues.

Workshops focusing on cultural diversity, ecological preservation, and gender equality are designed to inspire children aged 6 to 11+, utilising Louvre artefacts to foster interactive learning. Additionally, the Open Book Fora provides a platform for discussing contemporary societal challenges, promoting dialogue and understanding.

A standout feature, Ocean Weekend, will delve into marine conservation themes through discussions, screenings, and NGO-led sessions, emphasising local and global oceanic issues. In partnership with the Malta Biennale and the French Embassy in Valletta, the festival underscores its commitment to interdisciplinary exploration and community engagement.

The Art Explora Festival not only celebrates artistic expression but also serves as a beacon for social change, inviting attendees to immerse themselves in a world of creativity and critical thought, aimed at forging a more just and sustainable future.
