TAĦŻIŻ is an empowerment and formation programme which brings together young people who are interested in creative writing in its diverse forms, both within the context of literature as well as inter-disciplinary artistic concepts.

‘Taħżiż’ looks in a holistic way both towards the process of writing as well as the development of the participants. The programme is also looks at the process of producing cultural products which require an element of writing and the public presentation of these products.

The programme is being carried out in collaboration with the Aġenzija Żgħażagħ together with the L-Għaqda tal-Malti – Università and includes intensive residential workshops, exercises of creative collaboration during the year, as well as the publication and presentation of their work at the end of the programme.
