The theme of the first week of CROWN QUEST is "Maltese Character: Get to know your new Home".
What the children have to understand: ❓How and what questions do you need to ask to become your own? ❓How do you study a country so that you can get the best out of it? ❓How is the national spirit formed, what influences it, and what character traits are behind it? Through Malta's history and cultural codes, they will be able to improve their adaptation skills anywhere in the world.
Everyone was offered to learn some phrases in Maltese: the language reflects the mentality of the nation. We invite you to reflect on what is the peculiarity of the Maltese character!
Malti jitbissem wara l-biza (Maltese smile, overcoming fear)
Rżistenza u paċenzja (Perseverance and patience)
Naqbu mill-ġebel (We extract water from the stone)
Gżira żgħira, imma qalba kbira (Small Island, big heart)
Xorta (Anyway / Everything will work out)
Il-baħar jżommna, imma jgħinna (The sea holds us back, but it also helps us)
