The Foundation for the Conservation of the Maltese Honey Bee is excited to announce its partnership with the HSBC Malta Foundation on the “Bee Creative: Maltese Honey bee artVenture,” a unique initiative designed to foster creativity and environmental awareness among Malta’s youngest citizens which is centered around the esteemed Maltese Honey Bee, the island’s proposed National Insect.
Through this initiative, students from Primary schools Years 4 to 6 (ages 8-11) will have the opportunity to explore the world of the Maltese Honey Bee through art. This initiative is inviting them to express their creativity and understanding of the Maltese Honey Bee through illustrations, drawings, poems, or paintings that highlight the significance of the Maltese Honey Bee in Maltese beekeeping and for pollination, combining educational and artistic elements to cultivate a deep appreciation for Malta’s natural heritage.
In recognition of their creativity, 15 student who participated in this initiative and according to merit, will receive hand-knitted Maltese honey bees. To extend the educational impact, A3 posters showcasing the NGO’s initiative to declare the Maltese Honey Bee as a the National Insect will be distributed among the schools involved.
Glenn Bugeja on behalf of the HSBC Malta Foundation said, “We are delighted to support the ‘Bee Creative: Maltese Honey bee artVenture.’ This initiative is a testament to our commitment to the environment and education, aiming to instill a sense of responsibility and wonder in our children towards nature. By engaging with the arts, we believe students can develop a meaningful connection with the environment, fostering a generation that values and advocates for the preservation of our natural world”.
The HSBC Malta Foundation and the Foundation for the Conservation of the Maltese Honey Bee are proud to collaborate on this venture, aspiring to ignite a blend of creativity and environmental stewardship among the young participants. This partnership underscores a mutual commitment to a sustainable future, where Malta’s youth are educated and enthusiastic custodians of their natural environment.

Permezz ta’ din l-inizjattiva, studenti mill-iskejjel primarji mir-raba’ sas-sitt sena (etajiet 8 sa 11-il sena) se jkollhom l-opportunitá li jesploraw id-dinja tan-Naħla tal-Għasel Maltija permezz tal-arti. Din l-inizjattiva qed tistedinhom jesprimu l-kreattivitá u l-fehma tagħhom dwar in-Naħla Maltija permezz ta’ illustrazzjonijiet, tpinġijiet, poeżiji, jew pitturi. Dawn jridu jenfasizzaw is-sinifikat tan-Naħla Maltija fit-trobbija u għad-dakkir, li jgħaqqdu elementi edukattivi u artistiċi biex jikkultivaw apprezzament profond għall-wirt naturali ta’ pajjiżna.
Bħala rikonoxximent għall-kreattivitá tagħhom, 15-il student li ħadu sehem f’din l-inizjattiva u skont il-mertu, se jirċievu Naħla Maltija maħduma bl-idejn tas-suf. Sabiex jiġi estiż l-impatt edukattiv, fost l-iskejjel involuti, se jkunu qed jitqassmu posters A3 li juru l-inizjattiva tal-NGO li tiddikjara n-Naħla Maltija bħala l-Insett Nazzjonali.

Aħna nemmnu li meta nkunu qed ninvolvu ruħna mal-arti, l-istudenti jistgħu jiżviluppaw rabta sinifikanti mal-ambjent, filwaqt li nkunu qed inkabbru ġenerazzjoni li tapprezza u tippromwovi l preservazzjoni tad-dinja naturali tagħna”.
Il-Fondazzjoni HSBC Malta u l-Fondazzjoni għall-Konservazzjoni tan-Naħla Maltija huma kburin li qed jikkollaboraw flimkien għal din l-inizjattiva, u jaspiraw li jinċentivaw taħlita ta’ kreattivitá u tmexxija ambjentali fost il-parteċipanti żgħażagħ. Din is-sħubija tenfasizza impenn reċiproku għal futur sostenibbli, fejn iż-żgħażagħ ta’ Malta huma kustodji edukati u entużjasti tal-ambjent naturali tagħhom.
