The project Mumenti, supported by Arts Council Malta, kicked off on Saturday 17th\u00a0February by means of a half day Seminar organised for those who hold a decision-\u00a0<\/span>making role or are coordinators of a section or working team within Azzjoni Kattolika\u00a0<\/span>Maltija (Malta Catholic Action).<\/span><\/p>

Around 40 people, aged between 20 and 70 years who voluntarily lead different\u00a0sections and groups of the organisation, participated in this seminar held at the Iklin\u00a0<\/span>Parish Centre. This event was a way for these members to continue to get to know\u00a0<\/span>each other and to be supportive of each other. It also aimed to help them express the\u00a0<\/span>beauty they experience and the challenges they face whilst carrying out their mission\u00a0<\/span>within the organisation.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

An artistic workshop was held, with the help of Ian Stilton, an artist by profession,\u00a0who helped the participants discuss ways how to overcome such challenges and to\u00a0<\/span>think about what makes them resilient and want to continue to persevere in their role\u00a0<\/span>within the organisation. He delivered this by exploring symbolism and visual\u00a0<\/span>representations in the workshop. The participants used different comparisons to\u00a0<\/span>represent and symbolise their thoughts and emotions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

These group leaders and team coordinators learnt about the importance of resilience\u00a0and perseverance. Despite the several difficulties they might face, on a personal level\u00a0<\/span>or within the group, there is the need for resilience for that individual to adapt and\u00a0<\/span>continue moving forward. It is through perseverance that one reaches their personal\u00a0<\/span>and collective goals even though they might face failure.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The 17th of February was also intentionally chosen for this seminar due to the fact\u00a0that this week, the Maltese Catholic Action is celebrating its 94th year of its founding\u00a0<\/span>in Malta. The organisation was started in Malta by a small group of University\u00a0<\/span>Students on the 5th of April 1929, thanks to the guidance of Fr Danjel Callus. On the\u00a0<\/span>19th of February 1930 the official statute of the organisation was approved by the\u00a0<\/span>Archbishop of that time. From then on, this date has been commemorated as the\u00a0<\/span>anniversary date of the organisation. Since then, more youth groups have been\u00a0<\/span>founded in different parishes. Their aim was to take an active role in conveying the\u00a0<\/span>message of the Church and to be of service to others. This small initiative developed\u00a0<\/span>into one of the largest Maltese Catholic organisations in existence today. The\u00a0<\/span>members of the organisation commemorate this special anniversary through a\u00a0<\/span>number of meetings and activities which are taking place this week.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

This seminar was only the start of the project Mumenti which will continue until February 2025.<\/p>

The next part of the project will see a number of creative workshops come to life, where with the help of many established locals artists, the Maltese Catholic Action will be bringing together members coming from different generations and different localities, to continue to get to know each other but also to continue to express themselves in a creative manner.<\/p>

The beauty of all this is that the organisation will bring together elderly members together with young people under the same roof and they will experience something they maybe have never experienced before.<\/p>

The creative workshops will focus on art, music, dance, drama and writing. The writing workshop will include young and elderly people\u00a0corresponding by post, which may be something young people no longer do.<\/span><\/p>

The aim\u00a0<\/span>of all this is to continue to build and strengthen the sense of community and fraternity\u00a0<\/span>within the organisation.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In the coming months the organisation will also be planning a number of cultural visits around Malta, where the participants involved will have the opportunity to go discover cultural spaces in our country that they may never have had the opportunity to visit or explore. Later on this year, through the Mumenti project, a group of young people will also be trained in setting up and creating a podcast where they will have the opportunity to interview and discuss topics and subjects with the older members of the organisation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

\u017bAK Malta","og_description":"Mumenti The project Mumenti, supported by Arts Council Malta, kicked off on Saturday 17th\u00a0February by means of a half day Seminar organised for those who hold a decision-\u00a0making role or are coordinators of a section or working team within Azzjoni Kattolika\u00a0Maltija (Malta Catholic Action). Around 40 people, aged between 20 and 70 years who voluntarily lead different\u00a0sections and groups of the organisation, participated in this seminar held at the Iklin\u00a0Parish Centre. This event was a way for these members to continue to get to know\u00a0each other and to be supportive of each other. It also aimed to help them express the\u00a0beauty they experience and the challenges they face whilst carrying out their mission\u00a0within the organisation. An artistic workshop was held, with the help of Ian Stilton, an artist by profession,\u00a0who helped the participants discuss ways how to overcome such challenges and to\u00a0think about what makes them resilient and want to continue to persevere in their role\u00a0within the organisation. He delivered this by exploring symbolism and visual\u00a0representations in the workshop. The participants used different comparisons to\u00a0represent and symbolise their thoughts and emotions.\u00a0 These group leaders and team coordinators learnt about the importance of resilience\u00a0and perseverance. Despite the several difficulties they might face, on a personal level\u00a0or within the group, there is the need for resilience for that individual to adapt and\u00a0continue moving forward. It is through perseverance that one reaches their personal\u00a0and collective goals even though they might face failure. The 17th of February was also intentionally chosen for this seminar due to the fact\u00a0that this week, the Maltese Catholic Action is celebrating its 94th year of its founding\u00a0in Malta. The organisation was started in Malta by a small group of University\u00a0Students on the 5th of April 1929, thanks to the guidance of Fr Danjel Callus. On the\u00a019th of February 1930 the official statute of the organisation was approved by the\u00a0Archbishop of that time. From then on, this date has been commemorated as the\u00a0anniversary date of the organisation. Since then, more youth groups have been\u00a0founded in different parishes. Their aim was to take an active role in conveying the\u00a0message of the Church and to be of service to others. This small initiative developed\u00a0into one of the largest Maltese Catholic organisations in existence today. The\u00a0members of the organisation commemorate this special anniversary through a\u00a0number of meetings and activities which are taking place this week. This seminar was only the start of the project Mumenti which will continue until February 2025. The next part of the project will see a number of creative workshops come to life, where with the help of many established locals artists, the Maltese Catholic Action will be bringing together members coming from different generations and different localities, to continue to get to know each other but also to continue to express themselves in a creative manner. The beauty of all this is that the organisation will bring together elderly members together with young people under the same roof and they will experience something they maybe have never experienced before. The creative workshops will focus on art, music, dance, drama and writing. The writing workshop will include young and elderly people\u00a0corresponding by post, which may be something young people no longer do. The aim\u00a0of all this is to continue to build and strengthen the sense of community and fraternity\u00a0within the organisation. In the coming months the organisation will also be planning a number of cultural visits around Malta, where the participants involved will have the opportunity to go discover cultural spaces in our country that they may never have had the opportunity to visit or explore. Later on this year, through the Mumenti project, a group of young people will also be trained in setting up and creating a podcast where they will have the opportunity to interview and discuss topics and subjects with the older members of the organisation.","og_url":"https:\/\/zakmalta.org\/mt\/mumenti\/","og_site_name":"\u017bAK Malta","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/zghazaghazzjonikattolika","article_published_time":"2024-02-20T14:56:00+00:00","article_modified_time":"2026-08-30T21:43:19+00:00","og_image":[{"width":2560,"height":1657,"url":"https:\/\/zakmalta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ritratt-Mumenti-5-scaled.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"zakweb","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"zakweb","Est. reading time":"5 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/zakmalta.org\/mumenti\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/zakmalta.org\/mumenti\/"},"author":{"name":"zakweb","@id":"https:\/\/zakmalta.org\/#\/schema\/person\/01215adcad33b48be8d22cb0d390889e"},"headline":"Mumenti","datePublished":"2024-02-20T14:56:00+00:00","dateModified":"2026-08-30T21:43:19+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/zakmalta.org\/mumenti\/"},"wordCount":667,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/zakmalta.org\/#organization"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/zakmalta.org\/mumenti\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/zakmalta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ritratt-Mumenti-5-scaled.jpg","articleSection":["Blog"],"inLanguage":"mt"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/zakmalta.org\/mumenti\/","url":"https:\/\/zakmalta.org\/mumenti\/","name":"Mumenti -
