European Maritime Day 2019 – Mellieha bay Malta – Free event

The European Maritime Day (EMD) is the annual two-day event during which Europe’s maritime community meet to network, discuss and forge joint action. It targets maritime professionals, entrepreneurs and ocean leaders.

The 2019 European Maritime Day conference will take place in Lisbon, Portugal. But there is not only one EMD. In parallel, a series of local EMD events are organised across Europe. This enables the many European regions with a maritime culture to join in the celebrations and highlight the vital role of the seas and oceans.

With this experience, we aim to promote cultural awareness and marine education in an enjoyable, engaging and emotional way. #EMDinmycountry

This year we are organising the #EMDinmycountry with Global Mindset Development 

in collaboration with Sara Pace Artist, BirdLife Malta, Malta bus CoopOh Yeah Malta, Tunnara Museum, Imperial Band Club Mellieha 

The day will be full of activities related to the sea, environmental conservation and discovering the  Maltese culture
