An awareness campaign promoting environmental stewardship and cultural heritage

17 September 2026 – 3 October 2026

Heritage Malta is organising two events at Għar Dalam Cave and Museum and the Malta National Aquarium, promoting environmental awareness, cultural heritage, and sustainable development.

18 September 2026 – Għar Dalam Cave and Museum, Birżebbuġa

Heritage Malta invites children aged six years and over to discover the remarkable environmental restoration of Wied Dalam at the Għar Dalam Cave and Museum. Through a guided tour and a series of interactive activities, participants will explore the importance of biodiversity, habitat conservation, and environmental responsibility.

The event will feature three engaging activities: Wied Dalam Nature Detectives, where children will investigate local flora and fauna; From Ice Age to Green Future, which explores the relationship between natural history and sustainability; and a Tree Planting Activity, encouraging young participants to contribute directly to environmental restoration efforts while learning about the importance of green spaces for future generations.

3 October 2026 – Malta National Aquarium, Buġibba

On Saturday, 3 October, Heritage Malta will host a public talk at the Malta National Aquarium exploring the relationship between Malta’s underwater cultural heritage and the marine environment. The session will raise awareness of the importance of preserving submerged archaeological sites while protecting marine ecosystems and promoting sustainable use of ocean resources.

Throughout the day, Heritage Malta’s Underwater Cultural Heritage Unit mobile kiosk will be stationed outside the aquarium, providing visitors with an opportunity to meet specialists, learn about ongoing conservation efforts, ask questions, and experience virtual dives to some of Malta’s most significant underwater historical sites.

Together, these activities aim to foster a greater understanding of Malta’s natural and cultural heritage, encourage active community participation, and demonstrate how education and conservation can contribute to a more sustainable future.
