During the summer of 2022, \u017bAK \u0126al Tarxien and Azione Cattolica San Severo held\u00a0an exchange in Malta with the title of \u2018Id f\u2019Id,\u2019 discussing sustainability and post-<\/span>COVID-19 rebuilding. This year, the second part of the exchange took place between\u00a0<\/span>July 10th and 16th, this time in San Severo, Italy, with the title \u2018ToGeThere,\u2019\u00a0<\/span>emphasising the significance of collective efforts to achieve the UN 2030 agenda.\u00a0<\/span>The event saw active participation from 41 young individuals, aged between 14 and\u00a0<\/span>28, hailing from Malta and the Puglia region (Diocese of San Severo), Italy.<\/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

Throughout the week, the participants engaged in discussions revolving around\u00a0various critical UN 2030 Agenda goals, encompassing Goal 1 – No Poverty, Goal 10 –<\/span>Reducing Inequalities, Goal 11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities, Goal 13 –\u00a0<\/span>Climate Change, Goal 16 – Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions and Goal 17 –\u00a0<\/span>Sustainable Development.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The discussion commenced with Goal 11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities,\u00a0where participants conducted activities in Torremaggiore, Italy, by exploring the\u00a0<\/span>historical centre and the Torremaggiore castle, the Sacco and Vanzetti museum, and\u00a0<\/span>the museum of De Sangro. Additionally, they visited Castel Fiorentino, the site of\u00a0<\/span>Emperor Frederick II’s demise, concluding the day with a Cluedo-style game centred\u00a0<\/span>around the same historical event at Ducal Castle.<\/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

The following day’s focus shifted to Goal 1 – No Poverty, where the pressing issue of school dropouts among 16-year-olds was thoroughly examined. The group explored local initiatives addressing this concern and met with representatives from the municipal administration of San Severo at Palazzo Celestini. Here, the mayor presented the \u2018social incubators\u2019 project, which employs artistic tools to impart knowledge to youth. These \u2018art incubators\u2019 foster a better understanding between educators and students, guiding the latter’s holistic development. The exchange also welcomed the MSAC circle of the Vieste diocese, who presented the student movement of Catholic Action, and engaged in joint activities promoting active participation in school and work environments, covering topics such as fast fashion, climate change and mental health.<\/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

Another crucial topic addressed during the exchange was Goal 13 – Climate Change.\u00a0Participants discussed ongoing European Union-funded initiatives in both Malta and\u00a0<\/span>Italy, aimed at tackling climate change, and engaged in MSAC-led workshops on this\u00a0<\/span>pressing matter.<\/span><\/p>

Towards the exchange’s conclusion, Goal 16 – Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions\u00a0as well as Goal 17 – Sustainable Development, were discussed, particularly regarding\u00a0<\/span>the issues of migration and exploitation. To gain insight into these concerns, the\u00a0<\/span>participants engaged in a tabletop game called \u2018Oro Rosso (Red Gold)\u2019 and had\u00a0<\/span>dinner with various NGOs working in San Severo, witnessing the collaborative efforts\u00a0<\/span>towards achieving the UN 2030 agenda goals and beyond.<\/span><\/p>

In conclusion, the exchange program in San Severo provided a transformative\u00a0experience for the participants, extending beyond discussions on the UN 2030\u00a0<\/span>Agenda. The exchange not only allowed them to delve into critical global issues but\u00a0<\/span>also facilitated a deep cultural, language and social exchange, creating a genuine\u00a0<\/span>European Union experience.<\/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 spirit of ‘ToGeThere’ the participants left the exchange with a shared\u00a0determination to make a difference, both locally and globally, contributing to the\u00a0<\/span>realisation of the UN 2030 Agenda and beyond. Through their efforts and\u00a0<\/span>collaborations, they are demonstrating that meaningful change can be achieved\u00a0<\/span>when we come together as one, transcending boundaries and celebrating our shared\u00a0<\/span>humanity.<\/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

\u017bAK Malta","og_description":"ToGeThere Youth Exchange ToGeThere Youth Exchange between \u017bAK \u0126al Tarxien and Azione Cattolica San Severo During the summer of 2022, \u017bAK \u0126al Tarxien and Azione Cattolica San Severo held\u00a0an exchange in Malta with the title of \u2018Id f\u2019Id,\u2019 discussing sustainability and post-COVID-19 rebuilding. This year, the second part of the exchange took place between\u00a0July 10th and 16th, this time in San Severo, Italy, with the title \u2018ToGeThere,\u2019\u00a0emphasising the significance of collective efforts to achieve the UN 2030 agenda.\u00a0The event saw active participation from 41 young individuals, aged between 14 and\u00a028, hailing from Malta and the Puglia region (Diocese of San Severo), Italy. Throughout the week, the participants engaged in discussions revolving around\u00a0various critical UN 2030 Agenda goals, encompassing Goal 1 – No Poverty, Goal 10 -Reducing Inequalities, Goal 11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities, Goal 13 –\u00a0Climate Change, Goal 16 – Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions and Goal 17 –\u00a0Sustainable Development.\u00a0 The discussion commenced with Goal 11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities,\u00a0where participants conducted activities in Torremaggiore, Italy, by exploring the\u00a0historical centre and the Torremaggiore castle, the Sacco and Vanzetti museum, and\u00a0the museum of De Sangro. Additionally, they visited Castel Fiorentino, the site of\u00a0Emperor Frederick II’s demise, concluding the day with a Cluedo-style game centred\u00a0around the same historical event at Ducal Castle. The following day’s focus shifted to Goal 1 – No Poverty, where the pressing issue of school dropouts among 16-year-olds was thoroughly examined. The group explored local initiatives addressing this concern and met with representatives from the municipal administration of San Severo at Palazzo Celestini. Here, the mayor presented the \u2018social incubators\u2019 project, which employs artistic tools to impart knowledge to youth. These \u2018art incubators\u2019 foster a better understanding between educators and students, guiding the latter’s holistic development. The exchange also welcomed the MSAC circle of the Vieste diocese, who presented the student movement of Catholic Action, and engaged in joint activities promoting active participation in school and work environments, covering topics such as fast fashion, climate change and mental health. Another crucial topic addressed during the exchange was Goal 13 – Climate Change.\u00a0Participants discussed ongoing European Union-funded initiatives in both Malta and\u00a0Italy, aimed at tackling climate change, and engaged in MSAC-led workshops on this\u00a0pressing matter. Towards the exchange’s conclusion, Goal 16 – Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions\u00a0as well as Goal 17 – Sustainable Development, were discussed, particularly regarding\u00a0the issues of migration and exploitation. To gain insight into these concerns, the\u00a0participants engaged in a tabletop game called \u2018Oro Rosso (Red Gold)\u2019 and had\u00a0dinner with various NGOs working in San Severo, witnessing the collaborative efforts\u00a0towards achieving the UN 2030 agenda goals and beyond. In conclusion, the exchange program in San Severo provided a transformative\u00a0experience for the participants, extending beyond discussions on the UN 2030\u00a0Agenda. The exchange not only allowed them to delve into critical global issues but\u00a0also facilitated a deep cultural, language and social exchange, creating a genuine\u00a0European Union experience. In the spirit of ‘ToGeThere’ the participants left the exchange with a shared\u00a0determination to make a difference, both locally and globally, contributing to the\u00a0realisation of the UN 2030 Agenda and beyond. Through their efforts and\u00a0collaborations, they are demonstrating that meaningful change can be achieved\u00a0when we come together as one, transcending boundaries and celebrating our shared\u00a0humanity.","og_url":"https:\/\/zakmalta.org\/mt\/togethere-exchange\/","og_site_name":"\u017bAK Malta","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/zghazaghazzjonikattolika","article_published_time":"2023-07-23T16:16:00+00:00","article_modified_time":"2026-08-30T21:44:03+00:00","og_image":[{"width":2560,"height":1707,"url":"https:\/\/zakmalta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Exchange1-scaled.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"zakweb","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"zakweb","Est. reading time":"4 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/zakmalta.org\/togethere-exchange\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/zakmalta.org\/togethere-exchange\/"},"author":{"name":"zakweb","@id":"https:\/\/zakmalta.org\/#\/schema\/person\/01215adcad33b48be8d22cb0d390889e"},"headline":"ToGeThere","datePublished":"2023-07-23T16:16:00+00:00","dateModified":"2026-08-30T21:44:03+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/zakmalta.org\/togethere-exchange\/"},"wordCount":552,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/zakmalta.org\/#organization"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/zakmalta.org\/togethere-exchange\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/zakmalta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Exchange1-scaled.jpg","articleSection":["Blog"],"inLanguage":"mt"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/zakmalta.org\/togethere-exchange\/","url":"https:\/\/zakmalta.org\/togethere-exchange\/","name":"ToGeThere -
