NSTF was once again responsible for the national coordination of a Poster Competition organised by the Directorate-General for Justice, Freedom and Security of the European Commission. This year’s theme “CHILDREN’S RIGHT TO PROTECTION” emphasized one of the most fundamental European values – guaranteeing children’s rights and raising awareness of these rights in all member states.
The record number of participants had thought long and hard about children’s right to protection. This experience will surely leave a lasting impression on all involved which will surpass their childhood and youth and ensures that as adults they will demand that the right of children to be and feel protected is safeguarded at all times.
The students from St. Dorothy won the national competition and went on to win the first prize from among the 27 entries in Brussels. Upon their return to Malta, they paid a visit to the Prime Minister at the Auberge de Castille and were congratulated by Mr. Francis Stivala, Secretary General at NSTF.
