Science in the City 2022

Malta’s science and arts festival, Science in the City is Taking Root once more, and proudly presents its 10th festival!

The festival will kick off with a bang on the 30 September at 6pm, where you can experience a variety of talks, hands-on experiments and performances within the historic walls of Fort St. Elmo (main event), as well as St. Dominic’s Hall (main performances location), Spazju Kreattiv, and the fortified City of Senglea.

The 1st of October will bring with it a full day of fun and educational events, from 10am to 11pm, which will take place in St. Dominic’s Hall, Merchants Street, Valletta in collaboration with Notte Bianca.

The goal for this year’s festival is to push forward the concept of Taking Root; that citizens can use research-based knowledge to help identify the political, social, environmental and technical challenges and opportunities, in order to influence policies and decisions which impact them.

Esplora Interactive Science Centre will be present during this year’s festival on Saturday 1^st October at St Dominic’s Theatre. If you would like to join us there, we will be giving a show about water, why it’s so special and precious to us and we will also show you how our planet wouldn’t be the same without it. This show is ideal for children between 5 to 9 years.
