General Information

Inizjamed is a voluntary non-governmental cultural organization founded in 1998 in Malta that is committed towards the regeneration of culture and artistic expression in the Maltese Islands and actively promotes a greater awareness of the cultures of the Mediterranean. Inizjamed is a secular, non-partisan organization that acknowledges that every generation must seek to create its own language and both respond to realities of its day and look beyond them. The internal structure of Inizjamed is not a hierarchy with an executive committee and a pool of dormant members but rather · a central coordinating team of five persons · project coordinators who may or may not be members of the organization. The project coordinators bring with them competences, experiences and contacts that enrich both the participants and the organization itself.
