Speakers
Caldon Mercieca
Caldon Mercieca is the manager at the Valletta Design Cluster, a project of the Valletta Cultural Agency. Working on this project has entailed collaborations with various players in urban planning, heritage conservation, and the cultural and creative sector, as well as direct engagement with residents, NGOs and civil society. His main efforts during the lifetime of the project to date have been threefold: firstly, ensuring that design justice principles are practiced in all the project’s initiatives, by prioritising inclusivity and participation by all relevant stakeholders; secondly, acknowledging and valorising grass-roots initiatives and contributions by independent practitioners, be they cultural, social, or environmental; and finally, ensuring that the project satisfies budgeting, administrative and policy objectives as determined by government, linking wherever possible the developments on the local scene with initiatives and projects taking place in Europe and internationally, with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals providing the overarching vision.
