Ġamborì
This year, we proudly present Ġambori, not a run-of-the-mill-festival, but a jubilant celebration of empowerment for individuals aged 60 and beyond. An era often associated with tranquillity and reflection, we want Ġambori to emerge as a pioneering force, reimagining the 60+ stage of life with an emphasis on a culture of active ageing and spirited participation through the performing arts.
The inaugural edition of Ġambori weaves a rich tapestry of theatrical performances, meticulously crafted by the adept hands and vibrant spirits of our Każin 60+ members. This is all being done alongside a vibrant mosaic of dance and song workshops and various interactive sessions, all intricately curated with the theme of an active lifestyle, and tailored exclusively for our cherished 60+ community. Quoting the timeless wisdom of George Bernard Shaw: “We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing”; this adage resonates deeply with the philosophy of Ġambori.
This initiative, gracefully supported by The Ministry for Active Ageing, is a movement that brings the compelling narratives of this life chapter into the spotlight of recognition and celebration.
