JUSTNature at the Refugee Week Malta 2025

Gzira 9 July 2025

On June 19th 2025, the JUSTNature local team in Gzira represented our project at an event during the Refugee Week Malta, held at the Council of Europe.

The event, organised by the University of Malta, Research Innovation Unit and Gzira Local Council, brought together representatives of small businesses, particularly artists, creatives and migrant owned enterprises. Under the title 'JUSTNature for the Community,' the workshop aimed to emphasise how every community deserves access to green space. Together with local stakeholders, our team celebrated the power of community, diversity in nature, and the shared vision of greener, healthier cities for all.

The day's activities included a balcony greening competition, plant giveaways, interactive performances and showcasing of innovative nature-based solutions. And the event's location was without a doubt relevant: the Council of Europe gardens is a green space in Malta which has previously come under threat of private development. Holding the event here emphasised how important public green spaces are for community building and integration!

Thank you to all of you who attended!
