HM will do this by making them play with art while being in prehistoric areas maintained by Heritage Malta; under the shadows of a megalithic temple, close to the mysterious catacombs, in a palace or in an art museum.

“If your children dream of becoming artists, comic creators, writers, or are simply fascinated when listening to stories, Heritage Malta gives the opportunity to join its programme starting this month and ending in September,” Heritage Malta said in the press statement. 

A €5-donation is requested for attending the programme, however, students who have collected all their Heritage Malta Passport stamps can attend for free. Tickets can be bought online and inside museums upon presentation of the Student Passport.

Heritage Malta has a passport scheme in place for teenagers and the elderly above the age of 60. These schemes are offered by HM, available to all students attending primary or secondary level education unlimited access to all Heritage Malta sites and museums, as well as the elderly.

In fact, in less than two months after the launch, 9,687 applications have been received, with Mosta, Birkirkara and Attard being the local councils with the most applications. Xagħra, Victoria and Għasri have been the localities with the most applications in Gozo.

Furthermore, approximately 1,000 seniors have already accessed attractions of Heritage Malta without paying and were accompanied by around 500 youths, which have free access too. As a matter of fact, all Maltese citizens over the age of 60 can apply for the so-called Senior Passport that allows them to enjoy free and unlimited visits to 27 Heritage Malta sites around Malta.   

The three most visited attractions were the national community art museum MUŻA, the National Museum of Archaeology and the Palace State Rooms, all located in Valletta, the press release says.  

Therefore, senior citizens who wish to receive a Heritage Malta passport are advised to contact their local council of residence and show their identity card. 

In addition, upon visiting each site, individuals holding a Senior Passport will receive a stamp and with eight stamps collected the holder will receive a reward by Heritage Malta to a total of three.

At the same time, Heritage Malta is also promoting the Student Passport with further opportunities during the summer holidays. Moreover, the card is valid until the end of academic year 11.

The Student Passport is a project launched to allow all Maltese primary and or secondary students to visit for free and with unlimited access all the Heritage Malta sites and museums, except for the Hypogeum.

As a plus during this summer, students aged from 5 to 15 can also attend several exciting activities, including comic art creations, drawing sessions, English creative writing and storytelling.
