Through this initiative, young aspiring composers can develop their craft, refine their musical skills, and receive recognition for their work. Whether the young artists are passionate about Classical Art Music, or Pop, Rock and Jazz, this is the chance for you to bring your ideas to life and captivate an audience.  This mentoring scheme enables young people to explore their creativity and craft compelling narratives through melody and sound to generate a deeper connection with their audience. This programme invites you to take part in a mentoring programme, offering an educational platform to learn from expert Maestros and develop their own works with the guidance of their mentors. Young Composers are encouraged to participate in this mentoring programme, offered by Aġenzija Żgħażagħ in collaboration with Pjazza Teatru Rjal.
 

Youth Cafès aim to foster a sense of community, inclusion, and well-being by offering a place where young people can come together, share experiences, and enjoy their free time in a positive, nurturing atmosphere. The Youth Cafès are places where young individuals can feel valued, develop new skills, explore their potential, and connect with like-minded peers in a non-judgmental setting. Through a range of fun and engaging activities, Youth Cafès offer information, guidance, and a chance to build friendships.

The Youth Cafès are part of a broader initiative by Aġenzija Żgħażagħ to ensure that young people in Malta have access to social spaces that go beyond traditional settings, with a focus on personal development and access to opportunities.
 

Youth and youth-led organisations that hold a valid V.O. (Voluntary Organisation) number can register with Aġenzija Żgħażagħ to gain access to a range of valuable opportunities. By registering, organisations will be eligible for funding, training sessions, networking events, and information sharing that can significantly enhance their work and development. 

This initiative is designed to support organisations in their mission to empower young people, helping them to thrive and grow within their communities.
 

The warrant is to provide youth workers with a benchmark for good professional behaviour and practice. It is intended to guide and support youth workers in fulfilling their professional duties and responsibilities, and to uphold professional standards and the continuous improvement of such standards.
