Minister for Foreign and European Affairs Hon. Evarist Bartolo participated in a Seminar organised by MEDAC on Climate Change, Diplomacy and Youth on Monday 28 February 2022. MEDAC students, divided in two groups, worked on proposals relating to Climate Change and Diplomacy and Climate Change, Youth and Civil Society in light of the forthcoming COP27 meeting in Egypt later this year.
Minister Bartolo shared insights on the two student presentations and highlighted the importance that diplomatic training includes science and the arts as well as intercultural sensitivities.
The workshop was mentored by Ambassador for Climate Change Simone Borg and included Ambassador of Germany to Malta, H.E. Mr. Walter Hassman and Charge D'affaires at the Embassy of the Arab Republic of Egypt in Malta, Mr. Abram Wagdy. Reacting to the presentations were also Ms Anna Brach, Head of Human Security at the Geneva Centre for Security Policy in Switzerland and Mr Ahmed Yassim, co-founder of CSO Banlastic. The Seminar was organised by the German Chair at MEDAC, Dr Monika Wohlfeld.
