Il-Premju tal-President għall-Kreattività is one of a series of initiatives aimed at strengthening inclusivity, community development and well-being through cultural participation and creative expression. The programme forms part of a diverse portfolio of schemes and initiatives to maximise the potential of Malta’s creative growth by encouraging engagement in the cultural sectors, facilitating cultural exchange, and championing cultural rights.
The potential of creative expression in fostering social and cultural change and regeneration has been shown and proven in a number of contexts, including those characterised by socially challenging environments, poverty, and exclusion. This understanding is the basis for Il-Premju tal-President għall-Kreattività.
The programme provides recognition and support at the highest level of the State for collaborations between organisations active in the sector of Arts and Culture and in the Social Sector respectively – especially those working with disadvantaged groups, to engage the groups in creativity and arts-driven projects and increase their level of integration and engagement in society.
Il-Premju tal-President għall-Kreattività is linked to the implementation of Arts Council Malta’s ongoing strategy – with a particular focus on championing cultural rights and providing further opportunities for people to engage in creative expression.
The Programme is specifically linked to important priorities articulated in the Council’s ongoing strategy, namely – to invest in:
• A wider spectrum of quality work that inspires community cultural exchange and engages with a broader range of people – both as participants and audience
• Artists and organisations that promote cultural diversity and address cultural inclusion and accessibility
• Championing cultural rights.
