During the Journeying Together session, students are encouraged to develop their spiritual growth and strengthen their relationships with others during a crucial transition in their lives, particularly the transition from Middle to Secondary School.

What is ‘Journeying Together’?

‘Journeying Together’ means taking our own experiences of life’s challenges and turning them into a gift of support and care for others around us. It is vital for learners not to feel alone when faced with difficulties and challenges, for example, when they leave their country for various reasons, be it war, job, education, or any other reason; when they lose a friend or a relative or when faced with fears and worries. ‘Journeying Together’ helps learners to appreciate themselves as they continue to grow, love, and appreciate the joy of sharing and learn how to build friendships and resolve conflicts. Learners understand and become more aware that they are not alone on their journey, but just like their peers and classmates, they are journeying together in all aspects of life.

This 3-hour session consists of a fun ice-breaker activity, story animation, self-reflection, prayer spaces, journaling and meditation. The session will be held at:

Learners begin by getting to know each other better, listening to a story, and reflecting by taking a situation from the story and processing it using the Friendship cards. After a short break, students are invited to explore four stations featuring imaginative and reflective activities that encourage them to pray in creative ways. The learners are provided with age-appropriate materials, templates, and resources in English and Maltese, as well as other languages when necessary. This facilitates interaction and understanding, allowing individuals to express themselves in their preferred language.

How are students encouraged to reflect or pray?

Prayer spaces are animated to empower children of all faiths and none to explore life’s questions and spirituality in a safe, creative, and interactive way. These reflective spaces encourage personal reflection on forgiveness, injustice, thankfulness, big questions, identity, and stillness.

Thus, four key areas are examined:

  1. Relationship with the self
  2. Relationship with others
  3. Relationship with the world
  4. Relationship with God

‘Journeying Together’ encourages us to go forward on our life journey and helps us remember that we are on this journey together.
