50 YEARS OF AŻAD - CELEBRATING DEMOCRACY, DIALOGUE AND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT
On 9th September 2026, we had the honour of commemorating the 50th anniversary of AŻAD - Academy for the Development of a Democratic Environment, at San Anton Palace, under the distinguished patronage of Her Excellency Myriam Spiteri Debono, President of Malta.

The event was honoured by the presence of Dr Alex Borg, Leader of the Opposition and Nationalist Party Leader, Dr Alex Perici Calascione, Deputy Leader of the Nationalist Party, and former Prime Minister Dr Lawrence Gonzi.

Also present were party officials, including Mr Charles Bonello, Secretary General, and Mark Anthony Sammut MP, PN Council President, together with MPs, former Presidents and Administrators of AŻAD, distinguished guests, lecturers and friends of the Academy.

The evening provided a wonderful opportunity to celebrate five decades of AŻAD's contribution to democracy, political education and training, dialogue and civil engagement, while reflecting on the important role of the Academy has played in the defence of democracy and political awareness.

We extend our sincere gratitude for the valued support of the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung Rom and the Wilfried Martens Centre for European Studies, whose commitment to democratic education, European values and political development continues to be greatly appreciated.

Our sincere appreciation goes to Her Excellency the President, the Leader of the Opposition and the Nationalist Party, guests, lecturers, MPs, party officials, friends and everyone who joined us on this special occasion.
