Exploring Maritime Heritage and Environmental Awareness: Year 10 Students’ Visit to the Maritime Museum
Nov 30, 2024
During this week, the Year 10 students participated in an activity organised by Heritage Malta at the Maritime Museum in Birgu. The activity consisted of two sessions. First, they visited the temporary exhibition titled ‘An Island at the Crossroads,’ where they had the opportunity to analyse primary sources, including paintings related to maritime activities during the Knights of Malta period.
Following this, they explored the ‘Clean Oceans’ exhibition, which focused on sea pollution and its impact on historic maritime sites. During this session, the students conducted a scientific experiment that demonstrated how Carbon Dioxide negatively affects our seas. Special thanks to Mr. Buttigieg for organising such engaging and educational visits.
