The historic docks at Bormla are no different. This paper will analyse the local community perceptions of on going waterfront regeneration at the historic dockside at Bormla and compare them with perceptions about the completed waterfront regeneration projects within the Malta Grand Harbour. The research will adopt a qualitative approach. For the purpose of this paper, a random sample of Bormla respondents were asked to give their comments and views via the internet and to comment on the projects. It is hoped that the findings will help to make this waterfront regeneration a success story and sustainable on a long term basis. The findings are hoped to support Falk's (2002: 33) statement that "[o] nce there is a shared vision, to which the main stakeholders are committed, progress becomes much easier.

This paper explores which pedagogical practices can help empower residents living in such area, by critically assessing those adopted by Bir Mula Heritage, a small museum located in Bormla. Literature demonstrates that the small museum can provide different activities and learning opportunities which can help in one way or another to decrease the stigma with groups located outside the community, and help residents to build a more positive self-identity. With this literature in mind, this paper explores whether Bir Mula Heritage was capable of providing and facilitating inclusive museum pedagogy, and whether this helped to ameliorate the community’s identity among the residents and outsiders, and how it went about to achieve these goals. 2014-10-01T00:00:00Z
