Meet Norbert Bugeja
We are thrilled to welcome Maltese poet Norbert Bugeja as a special guest at our Writing Festival!
Born in 1980, Norbert Bugeja is a leading voice in contemporary Maltese poetry. He has published three acclaimed poetry collections in Maltese, exploring themes of memory, identity, and place. In addition to his literary work, he is a Associate Professor in Postcolonial Studies and the Director of the Mediterranean Institute at the University of Malta.
Don’t miss this chance to hear him read from his work and share insights into his writing process!
Cub’Édito
A cube full of stories, ready to travel from classroom to library, from hallway to festival!
Originally developed in partnership with the French Ministry of Education, the Cub’Édito is a mobile Short Story Dispenser designed to promote both reading and writing. It prints short stories on eco-friendly paper at the push of a button — perfect for sparking curiosity and a love of words.
Come write, share, and get inspired!
