Refugee Week Malta Returns for Its Fourth Year This June
Jun 9 2025 Share

Refugee Week Malta (RWM25) returns for its fourth consecutive year this June, running from Monday 16th to Sunday 22nd June 2025. The week-long festival will feature events across multiple locations in Malta, including Valletta, Ħamrun, Ta’ Xbiex, Floriana, and Marsaskala.

As the local edition of the world’s largest arts and cultural festival celebrating the creativity, resilience, and contributions of people seeking safety, RWM25 continues to foster spaces for encounter and dialogue.

The festival aims to bring individuals from all walks of life together to share stories, build connections, and nurture understanding.

The theme for 2025, Community as a Superpower, invites us to recognise community as a powerful, living force—one that counters the increasing sense of isolation felt by many in today’s fast-paced society.

In Malta, where daily life can often feel rushed and impersonal, this year’s theme serves as a poignant reminder that building caring, connected communities is both urgent and transformative. It is an everyday act of kindness, courage, and solidarity. Community, after all, is not just where we live—it is how we live, together.

A key development in this year’s edition is the formation of the Refugee Week Malta Advisory Group: a collaborative network of individuals from asylum-seeking communities, alongside local organisations working across migration, arts, and culture.

This year’s edition proudly partners with the African Media Association Malta, and works in collaboration with 18 collectives, organisations, and public entities involved in migration, human rights, the arts, culture, food, and the environment. These include: Malta Refugee Council, Spark15, Ġustizzja għall-Palestina, MOAS, Blue Door Education, Migrant Women Association Malta, Migtantour Malta, MGRM, Geġwiġija Library, Unfinished Art Space, PONKS Collective, AISO Academy, Malta International Arts Festival, Nenu the Artisan Baker, Friends of the Earth Malta, JustNature, the University of Malta, and Gżira Local Council.

Work is currently underway in St Paul’s Bay as the Department of Public Works embarks on the construction of 2.5 kilometres of new pavements. The project forms part of a nationwide effort to improve public infrastructure, with a strong emphasis on safety and accessibility.

During a site visit, Parliamentary Secretary for Public Works Omar Farrugia highlighted that this initiative is one of many being rolled out across Malta. “Improving the safety and accessibility of our infrastructure remains a top priority,” he said. “We are also committed to creating more open, green spaces within our communities, as part of a broader vision for better urban living.”

The project represents a significant investment of over €400,000 and aims to provide long-term benefits to residents and visitors alike.

Mayor Ċensu Galea welcomed the works, noting that St Paul’s Bay is seeing tangible improvements as a result. “Thanks to this investment by the Department of Public Works, our locality is gaining pavements that are not only safer but also more accessible for all,” he said.

The ongoing works reflect the government’s continued push to upgrade essential infrastructure and enhance the overall quality of public spaces across the islands.
