ENVISION 2050 has kicked off the process for a healthy and sustainable sector for generations to come.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What kind of Malta do we want to live in by 2050? And how can art, culture, and creativity help us get there? These were the big questions that kicked off the very first consultation session for ENVISION 2050 \u2013 a national project that\u2019s looking at how to shape the country\u2019s future with creativity at the core.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event, which was held at the Aula Magna within the Valletta University Campus, brought together a wide representation of people that included artists, cultural practitioners, institutions, members of the public and other stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The session was built around 10 roundtable discussions, with the goal of giving all participants who had answered the public call the chance to speak, share their views and discuss the priorities that will guide Malta\u2019s cultural and creative industries in the years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The session was also attended by the ENVISION 2050 team, which was presented with the points that were gathered during the roundtable discussions. So, what\u2019s the roadmap looking like for our cultural and creative sectors in 25 years\u2019 time? ENVISION 2050 is built around four big pillars, each of which was discussed at length during the session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Sustainable economic growth<\/strong> \u2013 making sure our economy develops in ways that can last and benefit everyone.

    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Accessible services centred on citizens<\/strong> \u2013 services that are designed with people in mind.

    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. A resilient country with a modern education system<\/strong> \u2013 preparing future generations with the skills and knowledge they need.

    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Smart use of land and sea<\/strong> \u2013 looking at how we care for and manage Malta\u2019s limited natural resources.

    <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The cultural and creative sectors will play a big part in achieving these goals, building on the guiding principle that creativity doesn\u2019t happen in a bubble \u2013 it connects with education, the environment, wellbeing, and the economy. Now, ENVISION 2050 will bringing these sectors into the same conversation so as to empower a future where art and culture support broader national priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    One of the strongest messages that emerged from the session was that no one should feel left out of this process. Whether you\u2019re an artist, a student, a cultural organisation, or simply someone who cares about Malta\u2019s creative life, your voice matters. The feedback being gathered will directly feed into the country\u2019s long-term cultural strategy, making sure it reflects the real needs and realities of artists and creatives working today, while also paving the way for future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There will be more opportunities to make your voice heard, and we encourage everyone to take part, share ideas and help shape the big picture. If you\u2019d like to learn more, check out artscouncilmalta.gov.mt<\/a> and envision2050.gov.mt<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
