We value collaborations and believe in the potential that community-embedded knowledge and resources have to transform society and make lives better. The communities that make up the Valletta Design Cluster consist of various individuals and organisations that generate positive social value through creativity, enterprise and social impact. These range from independent practitioners to micro-entrepreneurs, public entities to international partners, residents to students in various disciplines, makers and food practitioners, and civil society players to organisations involved in public greening initiatives and and placemaking. Our form of community engagement is based on an open education model, and directly builds on principles inspired by the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN.<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f20fbf4 elementor-align--tabletcenter elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-elementskit-button\" data-id=\"f20fbf4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"elementskit-button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-wid-con\" >\t\t<div class=\"ekit-btn-wraper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/become-a-member\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"elementskit-btn  whitespace--normal\" id=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\tJoin our Community: Become a Member\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n        <\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-549d0a2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"549d0a2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-680c46d elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"680c46d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/youtu.be\\\/ul1pH2JErEA&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;play_on_mobile&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;loop&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;mute&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-138a038 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"138a038\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1531\" height=\"210\" src=\"https:\/\/vca.thewebally.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ab1cf4586e7c4bad9c7fe357af0794a2-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-14373\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vca.thewebally.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ab1cf4586e7c4bad9c7fe357af0794a2-1.jpg 1531w, https:\/\/vca.thewebally.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ab1cf4586e7c4bad9c7fe357af0794a2-1-300x41.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vca.thewebally.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ab1cf4586e7c4bad9c7fe357af0794a2-1-1024x140.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vca.thewebally.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ab1cf4586e7c4bad9c7fe357af0794a2-1-768x105.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1531px) 100vw, 1531px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n    <div class=\"xs_social_share_widget xs_share_url after_content \t\tmain_content  wslu-style-1 wslu-share-box-shaped wslu-fill-colored wslu-none wslu-share-horizontal wslu-theme-font-no wslu-main_content\">\n\n\t\t\n        <ul>\n\t\t\t        <\/ul>\n    <\/div> \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Valletta Design Cluster Il-Bi\u010b\u010berija l-Antika Facebook Instagram LinkedIn VDC Members&#8217; Area What is the Valletta Design Cluster?
