When children
arrive at the centre they are met by professional staff made up of the centre
coordinator, playworkers and child support workers. Children are grouped
according to age and children who are certified as having a statement of needs
have the added support of a child support worker.
Children attending the Skolasajf programme engage in a structured programme of
activities that range from arts and crafts, games and sports, amateur
dramatics, storytelling and singing, and cookery. There are also a number of
educational talks and outings, organised in collaboration with a number of
stakeholders. Each activity and outing is tailored according to the age group
of the children.
The main theme for Skolasajf 2018 programme is ‘
Living Culture’, highlighting
the FES’ support for 2018 being the year when Valletta is the European Cultural
Capital. Living Culture is a title that guides children to look at culture
holistically, and in a fun and interesting way. Through our programme, our
national culture and other international cultures will be explored.
During Skolasajf
the main theme is explored via a number of sub-themes that help
children to understand and appreciate the theme from various perspectives.
