| The meetings are held in the Cirkolu Azzjoni Kattolika Haz-Zebbug in Main Street (near Villa San Filep). Normal meetings consist of discussions, games, songs and so on. Activities are organised by the young people depending on the needs and abilities of the group, for example fund-raising activities, activities for others in the Żebbuġ community and many more are organised regularly. ZAK Zebbug 18+ Roundabout project between Malta, Germany and Spain - Summer 2003-2004-2005 The group was recently concentrating on their trilateral project. This is a 3-way roundabout project between Malta, Germany and Spain. In 2003 the activity was held in Hattgenstein in Germany. Activities in Germany included a walk in the forest, crafts (beading, tie dye and locks), relaxation and messages, a swim in the lake, an international evening, Maltese/ German/ Spanish nights, Museum visits, a visit to a fun park and swimming in a pool. In 2004 the project was held in Malta between in August. Besides the planning meetings the group was involved in fund raising activities such as a disco, car wash, cake sale etc. To help prepare they had live-ins and also held a parents meeting (see photos below). The whole group looked forward to last year's roundabout project because it gave them the opportunity to: Meet new people and share experiences and ideas; intercultural learning; discuss the idea of Malta in a New Europe; Show our island to the foreign guests; visit Gozo and learn about it's traditions, and many more. This year the group focused on the third part of the project which was held in Catalonia, Spain. This summer, ‘€quality Now’ focused on the differences between cultures, modes of living and other differences that exist in the different European countries – mainly in Malta, Germany and Spain. It dealt with the issues of diversity and the concern for equal opportunities, thus focused on how young people are all different but all equal. Tolerance was another subject which dealt with whilst living under one roof with people from different cultures. Moreover, the group was able to work directly in the community in Val d’Aran, hence explored what young people could contribute to society and how they could do this.
