Democracy and community development, Youth and educationGeneral Information
Spark15 was born in 2015 when UNHCR Malta organised a seminar as part of the Global Youth Consultations. During the seminar, a young group of refugees who had formed friendships while attending MCAST (the Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology), decided to start advocating for youth issues affecting the refugee community.
Following the seminar, the group was officially formed to encourage other young refugees to become active participants and agents of inclusive societies in Malta and beyond.
The organisation was officially inaugurated on Friday, 17th March 2017, at the President’s Palace at San Anton Gardens, with an opening speech given by the President of Malta Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca.
Mission and Objectives
Refugees are welcomed and included in the Maltese society and are able to live in dignity and have opportunities to develop themselves in order to contribute to society.
Main Projects / Activities
Advocacy, education, sports and social activities
How can you contribute to the Network in your country?
As the first youth refugee-led organisation in Malta, Spark15 contributes to the Anna Lindh Foundation Network by promoting intercultural dialogue, inclusion, and youth empowerment. We do this through educational programmes such as free English and digital literacy classes, sports initiatives like our football team Spark FC, and community events that bring together refugees, migrants, and Maltese citizens. By sharing our lived experiences and amplifying refugee voices, we strengthen mutual understanding and challenge stereotypes. Spark15 also builds partnerships with schools, NGOs, universities, and policymakers, ensuring that young refugees are not only beneficiaries but active contributors to Maltese society. Through these actions, we will enrich the Network in Malta with innovative, youth-driven approaches to integration, dialogue, and community building.
Why do you want to join the ALF Network?
We want to join the Anna Lindh Foundation Network to connect our refugee-led youth organisation with a wider community of actors working on intercultural dialogue and inclusion across the Euro-Mediterranean region. Being part of the Network will allow us to share our lived experiences and grassroots practices from Malta, while also learning from other members’ expertise. As Spark15, we believe that youth and refugee voices must be included in shaping inclusive societies, and the ALF Network provides a valuable platform to collaborate, exchange ideas, and build partnerships that strengthen dialogue, solidarity, and social cohesion.
