Activity No. 6
Monday, 7th April Today, Year 9 students attended an engaging talk titled Kieku Kelli Nikteb Ktieb by past pupil Dr. George Cremona, PhD, from the UCL Institute of Education. The talk provided valuable insights into the intricate process of writing a book.
Dr. Cremona emphasized that everyone has a unique story to tell. He described writing as a journey of creativity, discipline, and perseverance - where each word, sentence, and chapter is carefully crafted with passion and dedication. He illustrated this process with examples from his two volumes, Bilkemm Jitwemmnu!, published by Merlin Publishers. In these works, he brings to light extraordinary, curious, and captivating stories from the lives of ordinary people across Malta and Gozo, uncovering hidden treasures through storytelling.
