ŻAK Mosta

Din il-ġimgħa waqt il-laqgħa tal-grupp tal-18+, Clarissa Micallef - membru mill-grupp - qasmet l-esperjenza tagħha tal-proġett Timeless Travels li sar f'Ruma u Assisi f'Marzu ta' din is-sena.

Hi tkellmet dwar il-preparazzjoni li kienet involuta għal qabel din il-mawra kif ukoll kif qattgħu din l-esperjenza flimkien bħala żgħażagħ u adulti li kienu involuti fil-proġett.

🌍✨ This summer, ŻAK Mosta proudly hosted Digitalised, an international youth exchange with our friends from Slovakia, Belgium, and Belgium! Together, we explored how digitalisation shapes our lives and how our Christian values can guide us in the online & offline world.

Here’s what we did that week:
🔹Redefining technology and acknowledging its ubiquity.
🔹 Facing online risks (sexting, grooming, extortion, self-exposure & AI content) with expert input from Ms Davinia Marie Muscat who works at BeSmartOnline ( ), Malta’s internet safety centre.
🔹 Reflecting on the neutrality of technology - it’s not good or bad, it’s how we use it!
🔹 Understanding the impact of excessive use, recognising the signs, and strategies for balance, again guided by Ms. Muscat.
🔹 Reflecting on our use of social media/screen time and considering Digital Minimalism
🔹 Discussing the dangers of technology through a Christian lens – our relationship with God, creation, others, and ourselves.
🔹 Evaluating our technocratic society.
🔹 Meeting role models who use technology positively and creatively.
🔹 Practicing Christian virtues with technology including prayer, fasting, and charity.
🔹 Reflecting on personal change and what I’ll take with me.
🔹 Looking at our local contexts
🔹Youthpass guidance
🔹 Intercultural evening where each country shared food, games, dances, and traditions.
🔹 Daily prayers, reflections, energisers, and icebreakers led by the different groups.

We leave this exchange with new friendships, new skills, and new perspectives – ready to use technology in a healthier, more meaningful, and faith-filled way❤️

This exchange was funded by the Erasmus Plus programme of the European Union. 🇪🇺
