About the Conference:
Marking the fifth anniversary of Malta’s Membership of the EU, this Conference
presents the vision of our political, economic and social leaders for the coming
years, and also the recommendations of the twenty expert contributors to the
Report which is to be presented at the Conference. The Civil Society Project has
involved civil society in the process of analysing our first years of membership, and
has itself contributed to the role of CSOs in Malta. The Conference is aimed at the
general public, and looks at the global picture of politics, economics, social change
and values in a fast-changing Malta.
