Each year, more than 600 visitors come to the Open Weekend eager to explore the Centre’s hands-on exhibits centered on energy and water sustainability. This year will be no different, promising an engaging programme that appeals to the whole family.
The Centre’s Rich Heritage
Have you ever wondered what ‘Għajn’ means? In Maltese, it refers to a natural spring or water source—reflecting the Centre’s mission to champion water conservation and sustainable management. Nestled in Rabat, a town historically recognized for its freshwater springs, the Għajn Centre is located on a site that once served as a vital water source and community hub.
A History of Education and Awareness
Since opening its doors in April 2017, the Għajn Centre has been at the forefront of promoting water conservation and responsible water management. For over eight years, it has provided interactive educational programmes for primary and secondary students. Through workshops, guided tours, and hands-on activities, young visitors gain a deep appreciation for water’s value and sustainability principles.
