HalFar Families
Hal Far Open Centre accommodates hundreds of people who are new to Malta and seeking asylum.
It’s isolated. It’s degrading. It’s not how anyone deserves to start a new life.
So we decided... enough.
If the system won’t bring light, we will.
Alongside the incredible Vuci Kollettiva, Spark15, Peace Labs, and a crew of brilliant volunteers, we’re holding it down with monthly activities that give parents a breather and give kids space to just be kids. Simply care, creativity, and community. Peace Labs have been incredible, letting us use their spaces and backing this work with heart.
But we’re not stopping there. We’re working to improve the local area too, with hopes to renovate the old football pitch and turn it into a space that actually serves the people living here.
Because we’re tired of systems that isolate people and call it “support.”
We show up. We build trust. We make space where there was none. This is what real solidarity looks like.

HalFar Film Camp - Youth Behind the Camera
We’re done with narratives being created about us, without us. So we’re flipping the script. Literally.
We’re running a one-week Film School for youth based in and around Hal Far, with a focus on inclusion, empowerment, and unapologetic self-expression. While it’s rooted in supporting the youth living in the open centre, this space is about integration, not isolation... therefore, young people from across the island are invited in. Because real community means showing up together.
Through workshops in documentary filmmaking, storytelling, and cultural expression, participants will be challenged to create their own short films, which we’ll proudly screen at the end of the programme.
No experience needed, just a voice and a story worth telling.
And we’re not doing this alone, we’ve got special guests from the creative world joining us, sharing their knowledge, time, and positive energy.

Friday Nights - Chai & Chat
We’re back in Gozo! Picking up the relay stick from The Joint Action Movement (we are honoured to have their trust) and running with it RAAH style.
We’ve heard it loud and clear: English classes are still in high demand, but so is real connection. So we’re blending both. Not classrooms. Community.
Introducing "Friday Nights, Chai & Chat"
A weekly hangout where language learning meets friendship, films, games, and full-on vibes. It's about practicing spoken English (& Maltese!) in the most natural way possible; through laughter, connection, and shared stories.
Because we’re not just teaching. We’re building community, one cup of chai at a time.
More details dropping soon.

"Good Humans" Awards
Because good doesn’t shout, so we will.
We hear about the racists, the gatekeepers, the ones who close doors. But what about the ones who open them? The ones who treat people with dignity, not pity. The ones who go out of their way to make space, show up, and act with care — not for credit, but because it’s right.
The Good Human Awards are coming.
Celebrating those who embrace diversity and inclusion off their own backs, in every corner of society. From the local café owner who treats everyone like family, to the public service worker who actually sees people.
No big campaigns. No tokenism. Just real people doing good things... quietly, consistently, and from the heart.
It’s time we start shouting about them.

FILM BEYOND BORDERS SUMMER SCHOOL
We are continuing our annual collaboration with Sheffield Hallam University through Film Beyond Borders School. This project creates space for diasporic creatives to learn the skills to tell their own stories through film, with honesty, power, and purpose.
It is more than a film programme. It is about reclaiming narratives, building confidence, and creating media that speaks from within our communities, not about them.
Last year, we worked with 19 incredible participants. This year, many of them are coming back — not just to create, but to mentor the next cohort. That’s the power of community. That’s what growth looks like.
Sheffield Hallam University are fully behind this. Their staff, students and professional equipment are helping make this possible. From workshops to editing suites, they’re showing what true collaboration looks like — and we’re here for it.
We do all of this on an extremely limited budget. Your donations go directly into covering the basics. Transport. Food. The minimum needed to make sure people can show up, focus, and feel held in the process. Nothing fancy, but full of impact.
Film Beyond Borders works because people believe in it. And because we believe in each other.
We don’t wait for funding. We fund ourselves.
We’re tired. Tired of being in a system that tells us to compete with other incredible grassroots initiatives just to survive. Tired of writing grant applications that ask us to dilute our voice, fit into boxes, or prove our worth over others who are also doing vital work.
This isn’t community.
This is scarcity.
RAAH is choosing a different path.
We generate our own income through creative work, producing films, photography, design, events, and brand collaborations. Then we reinvest it straight back into our people, our projects, and our platforms.
No begging.
No gatekeeping.
No waiting.
We don’t rely on funding cycles to do what we know matters. We fund ourselves. We build power, not dependency. We grow our creative community on our own terms — and no one gets left behind.
This is what sustainability looks like when we make it for ourselves.
