The Gozo Sports Board’s main objective is to develop, promote, control and regulate sports in all its forms throughout the territory of the island of Gozo, in the spirit of fair play and in conformity with all rules, bye-laws and regulations as may be in force from time to time.

The Cultural Council’s main objective is to promote the culture and creative sectors as well as to promote local talents pertaining to the Visual and Performative arts.

In order to reach these goals, the Cultural Council organises various cultural activities throughout the year. The Council meets regularly in order to discuss and implement various activities including: launches of books which are mostly written by local authors, inauguration of Monuments of various Gozitan icons who honoured their beloved home island throughout their life, art exhibitions, musical concerts and dance shows.

The Council ensures that the cultural activities organised from his end, reach out to people with different tastes and diversified age groups of the society. The Cultural Council strives to encourage the involvement of the local community in these cultural activities, in order to ensure that the Gozitan Culture remains a source of pride for the future generations.

The Dwejra Opportunity Fund’s main objectives are to generate funding to support research and conservation initiatives on natural and cultural heritage sites in Gozo and Comino. The DOF will strive to encourage the involvement of the local community, stakeholders and interest groups to work for the common goal of ensuring that Gozo and Comino’s heritage remains a source of pride and inspiration for future generations.

SCOPE:

The Dwejra Opportunity Fund has been set up in 2018 by the Government of Malta as a direct response to the collapse of the iconic Azure Window, with the aim of turning a loss into a new opportunity for Gozo.

The fund is managed by a committee whose core objective is to seek funds in order to support research initiatives focusing on natural heritage sites or projects of a cultural nature in Gozo. The DOF committee believes that heritage preservation is an essential part of any nation that values itself.

The committee therefore seeks to promote and work towards the idea that society, as a whole, should take responsibility for its historical, cultural and natural assets.

Through a variety of public awareness and funding initiatives, the DOF Committee strives to encourage the involvement of the local community, stakeholders and interest groups to work for the common goal to ensure that Gozo’s heritage remains a source of pride and inspiration for future generations.
