Last week, Our Creative Director Jean-Marc Cafa` shared Studio 18’s journey and work with the EU Commissioner and cabinet for Youth, Culture, Sport and Intergenerational Fairness.

The session did not only showcase our projects and efforts, but explored the intersectionality of the four focus areas, and the power of inner development, connection and co-creation.

In the spirit of working together, Jean-Marc was fortunate to have been joined by two co-creators who have played an important part in the evolution of Studio 18:
👉 Matt Zammit (ProClinic), who shared insights and initiatives related to importance of movement in wellness and learning
👉 Zach Ciappara (FreeHour Malta), who shared key insights into Gen Z trends and workplace realities

Together, we were able to give a snapshot of what Studio 18 is about: connecting ideas and individuals in creativity, education, and business, to help future generations thrive.

It is encouraging to see many stakeholders come to the table to deep-dive into these conversations, and we look forward with excitement to what comes next.

Is the artist–scientist partnership the secret to unlocking real change? 🧠🎨

Science gives us the data. Artists give us the story.

One informs, the other transforms. Together, they can move people from awareness to action.

Yet, collaboration between artists and scientists is still too often treated as a buzzword rather than the key it could be. Without imagination, data struggles to connect. Without evidence, creativity risks being dismissed.

At CoRES, we believe the future lies in bridging these worlds — designing climate responses that speak to both head and heart. Because when science and creativity work in sync, resilience becomes possible.

🌍 Is the climate crisis really a failure of science, or of imagination?

The data is there. The warnings are clear.
What’s missing is the ability to connect, to move, to inspire action at scale.

That’s where culture comes in.
Because science informs, but art transforms. Together, they activate real change.

Through CoRES, we’re asking the questions that bring culture and creativity to the heart of climate solutions.

Gen Z know exactly what they want from work,and it comes in layers.

1. At the base: essentials like salary, culture, and work-life balance.
2. In the middle: drivers like job security, progression, purpose, and leadership.
3. At the top: enhancers that differentiate but don’t replace the basics.

📊 Understanding these expectations is one thing. Turning them into action is another.

That’s why we’re hosting:

Our Story

Get inside the box, to think outside of it! Studio 18 was set up in light of Malta's successful bid to host European Capital of Culture in 2018. Since its inception, the Studio has created work such as #babydaddy and The Brat and That, Limbo and Dear Pete, and performed and collaborated locally and overseas. The Studio operates in 3 areas: - training programmes - performances and projects - creative learning for schools Studio 18 activities range from youth projects to individual mentorship, consultancy and services to schools, collaborations with other creative enterprises and ultimately, the Creative Lab. The organisation's unique position at The Box in Mosta and Teatru Salesjan in Sliema allows its members to thrive, collaborate, feed off a host of arts entities which are also resident at this space; this environment is an invaluable stimulus! Studio 18, an organisation for informal learning, was founded by Creative Director Jean-Marc Cafà, who works with a creative team in consultation with the Board of Creative Associates, has managed the implementation of three highly successful programmes to date.

The Creative Team consists of Jean-Marc, James Azzopardi Meli, Rachel Fabri, Dr Joe Gatt and Ian Azzopardi Meli.

The Board consists of: - Christopher Gatt (former General Manager of St James Cavalier, freelance director) - Simone Spiteri (actor, writer, director) - Daniel Azzopardi (Artistic Director for ZiguZajg Festival and Programme Manager for Spazju Kreattiv) - Christina Cauchi (Principal of Danza C, Co-Director of RedTape Dance and The Box, choreographer) Creative Lab Creative Lab consists of workshops, projects and performances which explore stagecraft and devised work, voice and movement, problem solving, critical analysis and public speaking, among other features. The programme seeks to empower the mind to become insightful, critical, and ultimately creative. Acceptance is subject to an audition process.

Age: 18+ The Muso Project A high-energy project which explores Musical Theatre in it's entirety - from song repertoire to musical theatre choreography to acting through song. Members are given the opportunity to participate in workshops and mock auditions, develop a song portfolio, and much more. Acceptance is subject to an audition process.
