Connecting the Dots brings together passionate minds from across communities in Malta to tackle sexual gender-based violence in the context of migration. Through creative workshops, thought-provoking discussions, and powerful film screenings, we create a vital platform to educate, raise awareness, and start necessary conversations around this often-overlooked issue. This dynamic day explores diaspora empowerment, EU solidarity, and pathways to integration while celebrating cultural diversity and building bridges across communities.
Part of the Bridging Borders series, this initiative unites 10 organizations across Europe to educate and raise awareness on migration.
