In-nuqqas ta’ tama tittieħed. Daqstant ieħor it-tama

F’survey li sar maż-żgħażagħ biex jara f’liem parti tad-dinja jixtiequ jgħixu, 27% biss għażlu lil Malta.

Fl-Elezzjoni Ġenerali li jmiss, iż-żgħażagħ ta’ 16-il sena se jkollhom għall-ewwel darba d-dritt li jivvutaw. U madanakollu, dawn l-istess żgħażagħ qed jgħidulna li jippreferu jitilqu mill-pajjiż milli jinvolvu ruħhom politikament hawnhekk. Il-maġġorparti taż-żgħażagħ donnhom qatgħu qalbhom minn Malta. Qed ifittxu minflok, li jgħixu f’post li jgħinhom biex jiżviluppaw il-potenzjal sħiħ tagħhom, li jieħu ħsieb l-ambjent, li jinvesti fl-edukazzjoni u li jippromwovi stil ta’ ħajja tajba għas-saħħa… Kompli aqra »

L-involviment taż-żgħażagħ akbar fil-komunità milli fil-politika

Stħarriġ li sar juri li ż‑żgħażagħ għandhom iktar probabiltà li jinvolvu ruħhom fuq livell ta’ komunità milli fil‑politika. L‑interess tagħhom fil‑politika jonqos aktar ma jikbru fl‑età. Irriżulta wkoll li t‑tfajliet iħarsu lejn l‑impenn fil‑komunità b’mod pożittiv u jipparteċipaw f’inizjattivi u attivitajiet komunitarji aktar mill‑ġuvintur.Ir‑riċerka saret minn DISCERN, l‑istitut għar‑riċerka dwar is‑sinjali taż‑żminijiet, fost 498 żagħżugħ u żagħżugħa bejn is‑16 u l‑25 sena. Din hija parti minn proġett tal‑Malta Catholic Youth Network (MCYN) u l‑Kummissjoni Ġustizzja u Paċi sabiex jifhmu aħjar l‑attitudnijiet taż‑żgħażagħ fis‑soċjetà… Kompli aqra »

“Ferrovija bla kontroll riesqa lejn l-abiss”

Pope Francis, in a keynote address to a group of social justice activists, harshly criticized the current economic system which, “with its relentless logic of profit, is escaping all human control. It is time to slow the locomotive down, an out-of-control locomotive hurtling towards the abyss.”

Addressing the IV World Meeting of Popular Movements, the Pope told participants that their dedication “is above all a proclamation of hope” reminding us that “we are not condemned to repeat or to build a future based on exclusion and inequality, rejection or indifference”… Kompli aqra »

Sejħa għal impenn kuraġġuż minn naħa ta’ l-Ewropa fis-summits tal-Ġnus Magħquda fuq it-tibdil fil-klima u l-biodiversita’

On 9 August 2021 Working Group I of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) published a report, in which humanity is held responsible for climate change and the increase of extreme weather events. The life of people and all living beings and their ecosystems will be seriously affected if the rise in the planet’s average annual temperature is not urgently reduced. The forthcoming Glasgow and Kunming summits should be a turning point in keeping the planet habitable for all people living on it and for future generations… Kompli aqra »

16-il entità jappellaw lill-politiċi biex iqisu tassew il-ġid komuni

16-il entità impenjati fil-ħidma soċjali qed jesprimu t-tħassib tagħhom dwar il-proposti għall-abozz ta’ liġi dwar l-użu hekk imsejjaħ responsabbli tal-kannabis. L-entitajiet jinsabu fi qbil mal-pożizzjoni ta’ Caritas Malta u Fondazzjoni OASI li nhar il-Ħamis, 7 ta’ Ottubru 2021, reġgħu tennew li l-liġi proposta se tkun aktar ta’ ħsara milli ta’ ġid għas-soċjetà Maltija.

Dawn l-entitajiet, li wħud minnhom jaħdmu direttament mat-tfal u ż-żgħażagħ vulnerabbli, jinsabu mħassba speċjalment dwar il-messaġġ li jkun qed jgħaddi lit-tfal u ż-żgħażagħ dwar l-użu u l-kultura tal-kannabis… Kompli aqra »

Wieħed raġel kien nieżel Ġeriko minn Ġerusalemm

Ħallewh nofsu mejjet: Fil-parabbola tas-Samaritan it-Tajjeb, il-ħallelin li sawtu lir-raġel u ħallewh nofs mejjet jibqgħu anonimi, bla isem. Il-persuna li allegatament tefgħet lil Lamin, bħallikieku kienet borża taż-żibel, mal-ġenb tat-triq fi Triq Selmun, il-Mellieħa, diġà ġiet identifikata u se tiffaċċja l-ġustizzja.
