The International Youth Arts Festival, Ħolqa, organised by Ġ.F. Abela Junior College is an annual youth Festival that has extended its branches to all spheres of visual and performing arts. In 2019, the Festival was held between the 25 and the 29 of March 2019 in various spaces around the College.

In its sixth edition, the Festival, offered various opportunities to youths who work in the local visual and performative arts scene to showcase their talents and exchange various experiences with youths from different countries. This year’s theme was diversability, which saw a collaboration between participants from local foreign schools, alongside entities that work with clients with various abilities to create a dialogue through art.

Along with performances by foreign participants from Ireland, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Bulgaria and France, the programme showcased the talent of the Junior College Orchestra, band, dance group, visual arts group and the theatre group. In its aim to promote local talent, and in view of this year’s theme, the Festival included participants from MCAST, Gozo’s Sir Mikiel AnÄ¡ Refalo Sixth Form together with Spero, AÄ¡enzija Sapport, Opening Doors and Maria Gauci. During the week of activities, the Festival goers had the opportunity to experience different theatrical styles, music concerts, dance shows, visual arts exhibition, documentaries and films, structured discussions, interviews and workshops. 

Ħolqa worked closely with Opening Doors to put up a Festival that celebrated diversity in all its forms. Ħolqa also worked with Aldo Cauchi Savona, Sandra Mifsud, Mary-Ann Cauchi, Arts Council Malta, Alka Ceramics and Inizjamed. Ħolqa was made possible thanks to help of the President’s Award for Creativity, Buzzer Stationers and HSBC.
