Placemaking and active space design with Cynthia Debono from MOVE Malta

MOVE Malta is committed to empowering young people and the community at large with opportunities that lead to a healthy and active lifestyle. MOVE works closely with the Malta Council for the Voluntary Sector and the Ministry for Education, Youth and Sport on various community projects targeting young people, including migrants and refugees.

With the art of social interaction nearly forgotten, MOVE uses street sports and culture as a tool for active community engagement. Young people from all walks of life, with different cultural backgrounds and identities, are given the opportunity to socialise and be active though our various activities that are normally held in public spaces, hence turning unutilised open public spaces into vibrant playgrounds.

We interviewed Cynthia Debono, the founder and director of MOVE Malta, to learn what placemaking means to her. We asked her about placemaking activities in Malta and the kinds of tools has she used to design the community spaces. She also shared with us the challenges they are facing while organising and implementing placemaking.

IRTS Podcast: COVID19 or when control and planning are overrated with Helen Vost

We talked with Helen Vost from Youth Sport Trust International (YSTI) about activities they have implemented during Covid-19. During the pandemic YSTI reached out to connect with young Syrian and Palestinian refugees living in camps in Beirut to provide weekly online training sessions to develop their leadership and life skills through physical activity and sport. First working with a group of teenage girls and then boys, they were inspired by their desire to learn new skills, determination to succeed and love of cricket (the sport they had been introduced to in the camps but had never experienced before). Week by week they saw their confidence grow as they became role models for their peers and able to take on the coaching of activity sessions themselves.
