Main Msida-Valletta Road To Close This Friday As Students Strike And March Against Climate Change
As millions of youths organise around the world to demand a change in the way the world fights climate change, Maltese students are expected to take to the streets as part of a global strike this Friday.
Maltese students will be marching from the University of Malta to Valletta, Malta’s capital city, to emphasise how they do not want to inherit a land, and indeed world, that has been destroyed and poisoned through humanity’s gluttonous greed.
“The University of Malta student council shall be rallying students and youths in Malta to participate in this Friday’s global students4climate strikes. The strikes so far have students in a hundred countries confirmed participating around the globe,” Carla Galea, the KSU President, said today.
“We are calling on all students to join us to take action on our future! We’ll be walking from the University of Malta to the Parliament building in Valletta, to raise awareness on our future and our planet! Let’s take action to raise awareness on Climate Change.”
The road between University and Valletta will be closed for 30 minutes, between 12:30 and 1pm, this Friday, as part of the march.
