Hundreds of Gotizans are taking part in an environmental awareness campaign, the outcome of which will be a massive trash-art sculpture of Christ that will be erected at Ta’ Pinu basilica in September.
The Cast-Out Project is inviting locals to recycle their plastic bottles and participate in clean-ups to tidy local landscapes and gather littered bottles, which can be repurposed into the art installation. The initiative is funded by the Ministry for Gozo and held in collaboration with Queen Mary University of London Malta Campus and the European Parliament Liaison Office in Malta.
Project manager Jo Curtis dreamt up the idea of this sculpture during a visit to the popular Gozitan shrine a couple of years ago.
Worcester people wanting to follow a Nativity Trail for all ages only have until Boxing Day to make it to Cripplegate and Gheluvelt Park. Members of Lifehouse Worcester, Elim Church, have been scratching their heads looking for ways to give something to the city of Worcester in these Covid restricted times. Spokesperson, Jo Curtis said: During this season of Covid when many people’s activities are focused on being outside, our initial hope was to hold a Muddy Church session outside where families of all ages could come and follow a Nativity trail with different practical activities at each station; making the star out of twigs, listening to stories from characters in costume, eating Christmas treats and just wondering about the Christmas story together.

Endless lines of vehicles waiting for food will be an indelible image of 2020 a scene that’s both heartbreaking and inspirational.
It was tragic to see so many people of every age, class and background in such dire straits. Many of them had never worried about where their next meal would come from.
