At Koperattivi Malta, we believe that innovation must start with education. Earlier this year, we shared our experience at San Anton School through a Human Library activity — a novel format that allowed students from 12 classrooms to explore sustainability topics through live storytelling and open conversation. You can read about that event here.

 

Since then, we have continued building on this momentum by bringing the EXCEL4MED project into even more classrooms, reaching students of all ages with engaging, educational experiences that inspire curiosity about food systems, science, and sustainability.

The Human Library at San Anton School Food for Thought: A Human Library Experience had 400 students in both primary and secondary school joined us to learn more about EXCEL4MED’s goals. The students were curious, confident, and eager to explore how research can shape real-world solutions.

🔬 Science Made Real with University of Malta

📍 San Anton School, Żebbiegh
📅 9 April 2025

Back by popular demand, a special request from the school led to one of our most rewarding initiatives to date — a live science experiment with Grade 3 students, conducted by Prof. Ruben Gatt from the University of Malta, alongside Ms Diana Miceli. This wasn’t just a lesson — it was an experience.

“This wasn’t their teacher leading the experiment — it was a real scientist! That made the experience even more special,” said a teacher.
“This has surely been one of the highlights of the scholastic year.”

📅 20 May 2025

At St. Monica School, we introduced EXCEL4MED to a more intimate group of 28 primary school students. Through interactive storytelling and visuals, we opened their eyes to the value of food, the power of innovation, and how even young people can contribute to solving complex challenges like food waste.

Why We Do This 

 

Each school visit is part of a broader mission: to embed sustainability into everyday learning. By making science accessible, relatable, and fun, we’re shaping a generation that will lead the transition towards more resilient, inclusive, and circular food systems. 

Our heartfelt thanks go to the leadership and teachers at San Anton School and St. Monica School for embracing innovation in the classroom. Special recognition also goes to Professor Ruben Gatt for making science come alive for our youngest thinkers. 

We look forward to continuing this journey, one school at a time.
