Our Journey

Spark15 was born in 2015 when UNHCR Malta organised a seminar as part of the Global Youth Consultations. During the seminar, a young group of refugees who had formed friendships while attending MCAST (the Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology), decided to start advocating for youth issues affecting the refugee community.

Following the seminar, the group was officially formed to encourage other young refugees to become active participants and agents of inclusive societies in Malta and beyond.

The organisation was officially inaugurated on Friday, 17th March 2017, at the President’s Palace at San Anton Gardens, with an opening speech given by the President of Malta Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca.

Our Vision

Refugee youth is welcomed and included in the Maltese society and are able to live in dignity and have opportunities to develop themselves in order to contribute to society.

Our Mission

SPARK15’s mission is to provide the necessary information, education and training to refugee youth and undertake other actions for their successful integration into Maltese society.
