    Malta and Gozo - Experiences of a study tour from 14th to 21st September 2019 Text and Photos: Hans-Rudolf Neumann Saturday, 14th September 2019 The morning flight from Berlin via Frankfurt Main to Malta with Lufthansa ran without any incidents. But check-in service in Berlin leaves a lot to be desired; the transition to digital full automation to reduce staff provoked the oppo- site effect. Luggage check-in and boarding on two different ends of the airport caused anno- yance, while during boarding two flights were serviced on the same counter. One two Warsaw and one to Frankfurt Main – the line on luggage security was more than 200 people and it was safe to ask the pilot again if this is the right plane when entering the plane. The on-board meal on the flight to Frankfurt consisted of a 30 g al- mond tartlet of a 65 mm size and a drink, on the connecting flight to Malta we had a honey nut bar and another drink. Regarding that you had to leave the house at 4.45 am and entered the hotel in Malta around 12.40 pm, it was a re- Fig. 01: First group photo on the first day of the ex- markable performance, particularly as there was cursion: an INTERFEST study group with their no time to buy additional food in Frankfurt due wives and guests at the foot of the St. Michael bas- to the short connection time.

    Foreword – History General Syllabus 1. General Aims The main aims that are to serve as guidelines for the application of the syllabus are that students: Are aware of what is history and what are the aims behind the teaching of the subject; Become aware that history is based on different types of evidence such as archaeological remains, documents, manuscripts, maps, letters etc. Become more aware of the historical heritage in Malta so as to appreciate more the need for conservation and restoration; Analyse what happened in the past to understand the implications of the present and form aspirations for the future; Acquire skills that are particularly related to the teaching of history, such as eliciting and interpretation of information from sources, the analysis of change and continuity along the ages, the analysis of causes and effects of events in history, the ability to observe and reach conclusions, to imagine oneself living in a particular time in the past (empathy) and to be able to develop a clear idea of chronology and sequence in history; Learn, as far as possible, through direct experience during historic site visits, so that teaching is more stimulating and students remember more; Become aware that by learning history they are not only learning an academic subject but are also broadening their cultural horizons; Understand that just like societies change along the ages and are still changing today, they are to acquire the necessary training to adapt to future changes; Study the history of Malta in a wider context which includes that of the Mediterranean and Europe.

  • Immersion Sous-Marine Et Culturelle
    MALTE IMMERSION SOUS-MARINE ET CULTURELLE en partenariat avec INTERNAT IONAL quelques heures de la pollution citadine, il existe un endroit baigné de soleil et entouré d’une mer bleue cristalline : Malte. Ou plutôt Malte, Gozo et Comino, les trois principales Àîles de cet archipel situé à l’extrême sud de l’Europe, à 90 km sous la Sicile et face à la Tunisie (La Valette est même plus au sud que Tunis). Malte témoigne des affrontements, des migrations, des influences de tous les peuples du pourtour méditerranéen. Cela en fait un pays pluricultu- rel, où l’histoire, sans cesse présente, plonge directement dans les flots bleus qui l’entourent, à l’image des tours de guet qui parsèment çà et là le littoral. Baignée de soleil et de culture méditerranéenne, c’est une destination idéale entre amis ou pour qui veut y emmener sa famille : toutes les générations y trouvent leur compte entre la plongée et autres sports nautiques, les visites historiques et l’anima- tion culturelle telle que festivals de jazz, concerts rock ou de musique classique. Tout le monde y trouve son bonheur ! esservie en vols directs depuis les principaux aéro- ports européens, en France depuis Paris, Lyon, Mar- seille, Toulouse, Nantes, Mulhouse (et sans décalage horaire)…, l’île de Malte fait non seulement partie de Dl’UE, mais également de la zone euro et de l’espace Schengen.

  • The Cart Tracks at San Pawl Tat-Targa, Naxxar
    THE CART TRACKS AT SAN PAWL TAT-TARGA, NAXXAR Frank Ventura and Tony Tanti INTRODUCTION It is generally agreed that the ancient cart tracks found in many localities of the Maltese Islands constitute one of the most intriguing features of the local archaeological landscape. Yet, despite many attempts to study them, no widely acceptable conclusions have been reached about their age, purpose, and how they l were made • The root of the difficulty is that, unlike other ancient remains and artefacts, cart tracks provide only indirect evidence of human endeavour and were not intended to convey any special meaning. There can be no doubt, however, that they were the result of human labour since no known natural force can produce practically parallel winding grooves on the rock surface stretching over distances of hundreds of metres. In fact, almost all published studies of the ancient cart tracks have assumed their artificial nature and generally focused on conjectures, with little or no reference to the detailed evidence on the ground. Indeed, it is also assumed that the reader is familiar with the characteristics of cart tracks and that there is no need to describe them in any detail. This is not surprising because a review of the literature shows that only a small number of systematic field studies have been carried out, and even then not all 2 results have been published. Notable field work has been carried out by Zammit , Lanfranc03, and Trump4, but these authors have reported few measurements. On the other hand, Parker and Rubinstein published some measurements and maps of two sites in GOZ05 while Gracie reported a number of measurements and other interesting 6 statistics, and also produced two maps of sites in Malta • The value of the latter's work can be deduced from Evans' 1971 review which was almost entirely based on Gracie's results.
