This interactive training programme was prepared and delivered by academics at The Edward de Bono Institute for the Design and Development of Thinking, namely Dr Leonie Baldacchino, Professor Sandra Dingli, Dr Margaret Mangion and Ms Shirley Pulis Xerxen.  It focused on the importance of developing an entrepreneurial mindset through a cross-curricular approach, and included workshops on how to develop a school culture for enhancing creativity, how to be an effective creative leader, and how to apply foresight techniques to design schools that foster creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship.  

As part of the training programme, the delegation visited St Paul’s Missionary College, St Ignatius College Boys' Secondary, and San Anton School, where they observed lessons on creative thinking and entrepreneurship, learned about the local education system, and discussed projects and initiatives undertaken by these institutions to promote creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship through education.  

The delegates had the opportunity to meet Professor Edward de Bono during a reception at the Indian Consulate's office on their last evening in Malta.  Professor de Bono presented each of the delegates with a copy of his latest book Bonting, which was published in Malta last November.  During their free time, the delegates attended sightseeing and cultural activities, including a day tour of Malta sponsored by the Malta Tourism Authority. 

This delegation’s visit to Malta was organised by the University’s International and EU Office and International Collaborative Programmes Office, with the support of the High Commission of Malta in New Delhi.  It was a result of the close ties that have been built in recent years between the University of Malta and various educational institutions in India.
