The University of Malta is participating in Essays Beyond Borders through the Department of English and Id-Dipartiment tal-Malti. Prof. Mario Aquilina (Department of English) is academic lead of the project. Prof. Adrian Grima (Maltese) is coordinating the contribution of Id-Dipartiment tal-Malti.
Through the academic lead and the Project Support unit, the University of Malta is coordinating and monitoring the whole project, as well as actively contributing to all the components of the project.
Around 15 different essay writing workshop series in English and Maltese are being organised in Malta in 2024 and 2025. These workshops are aimed at postsecondary students, university students, members of the general public as well as aspiring and established writers.
Prof. Mario Aquilina is also coordinating and leading the research aspects of the project, which will culminate in the generation of pedagogic material as well as a series of open source publications in 2025 and beyond.
