Over 1,000 Form 2 students spread across 15 schools have already signed up for sessions with Dr. Tim Gambin about Malta’s underwater cultural heritage.

Following the 40-minute audio-visual presentations, each of the students attending the sessions are given an interactive workbook, sponsored by Bank of Valletta for the coming three years as part of the educational initiatives falling under its Community Relations Programme. 

Since this program was established in 2007 by the Aurora Trust, through the Aurora Institute for Marine Studies (AIMS) over 9,000 school children benefited from this initiative.

Aurora Trust has assembled a world class team of marine archaeologists and ocean scientists to undertake exploration of the seafloor in various locations in the Mediterranean in search of the lost remains of our maritime past. 

Dr Gambin’s presentations are also supported by the Department of Classics and Archaeology at the University of Malta.

The sessions started in October and will continue until April 2013. For further information contact the Aurora Trust Coordinator Maria Baldacchino on [email protected]. The workbooks are also available from http://www.auroratrust.com/aims_downloads.html
