Intercultural Area
The International Culture Area is organised by the Human Rights Directorate's Integration and Anti-Racism Unit in collaboration with the Malta International Food Festival. The event is co-funded by the Asylum Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) under the Supporting Pre-Integration Governance (SPRING) project,
This vibrant cultural area brings together communities from across Malta to celebrate their traditions through live performances, music, and dance, as well as interactive activities and cultural exhibitions at the Intercultural Museum.
By encouraging communities to share their heritage and engage with the public, the initiative promotes intercultural dialogue, combats prejudice and discrimination, and strengthens inclusion by highlighting the cultural diversity that enriches Maltese society.
