Following the meeting held at the Junior College in February, where our students met with their Belgian and Austrian counterparts, to engage in the “Habits for Success” Malta week programme, 11 JC students returned the visit by attending the Belgian exchange week between 28 April and 2 May 2025. The group was accompanied by Ms Elaine Chetcuti from the Department of Maths and our Youth Worker Mr Roberto Calleja, who played an important role in implementing this project.

The meeting in Waregem, Belgium was attended by students from Estonia, Finland and Malta who joined the students in Sint-Paulusschool Campus College to engage in a busy activity week, during which attendees had the opportunity to focus on different aspects of their mental and physical wellbeing, whilst working on key 24th Century skills. Participants engaged in yoga, sports, singing, and in tasks aimed in enhancing time management, group working skills and improvisation.  Social media awareness was also given its due importance through a hands-on workshop led by a local expert. Maltese food was presented during the international food court activity, where students from the different participant countries exchanged culinary delicacies whilst learning more about each other’s country and cultural habits.
