During the Journeying Together session, students are encouraged to support their spiritual growth and strengthen their relationships with others during a crucial transition in their lives, particularly 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 that learners do not 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 they face fears and worries. ‘Journeying Together’ helps learners appreciate themselves as they continue to grow, love, and share joy, and learn 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 on a situation from the story using the Friendship cards. After a short break, students explore four stations featuring imaginative, reflective activities that encourage them to pray in creative ways. Learners receive age-appropriate materials, templates, and resources in English and Maltese, and other languages when needed. 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 move forward on our life journey and reminds us that we are in this journey together.
