Valletta European Capital of Culture 2018
03 December 2011
Valletta, Malta's capital city, supported by all other localities in Malta and Gozo, recently submitted its candidature to be designated as the European Capital of Culture 2018. The application was presented by Valletta Mayor Alexei Dingli to the Parliamentary Secretariat for Tourism, Culture and the Environment. Valletta's bid, V.18,addresses the development of an environment for exchange which enables communication and learning experiences for citizens of Malta, Europe and the Mediterranean, differing in age, gender, physical needs, ethnicity and employment. V.18 aims to support citizens through the development of sound cultural and technological infrastructures that will encourage access to and participation in the arts, an inclusive approach to culture, the professionalization of performers and cultural operators and the internationalization of Maltese creativity, primarily through European partnerships.
The European Capital of Culture is a flagship programme of the EU which can provide Valletta with the opportunity to experience social, economic and cultural generation aiming at leaving a long-term legacy on the city. Information from MEUSAC News
