Graphic Recording at EduVoices: A new Conference for Education by the Government of Malta

The Directorate for Planning and Strategic Foresight within the Ministry for Education, Sport, Youth, Research and Innovation (MEYR) launched...

EduVoices, a new annual conference series designed to bring strategic foresight into education.

This year’s event centred on tackling Early Leaving from Education and Training by bringing educators, students, and policymakers into the same room to share real experiences and imagine better learning futures together. Through person-centred stories and practical foresight tools, participants explored how to create more engaging and supportive learning environments.

As a former educator myself, it was both inspiring and reassuring to see such a thoughtful initiative come to life; a space built for honest dialogue, creative reflection, and meaningful action.

You could sense the energy - even by joining remotely - and that EduVoices has immediately become the space for co-creating a shared vision for the future of education in Malta.

Shaping Education through Futures Dialogue

I really enjoyed working with the Directorate for Planning and Strategic Foresight Team:

The visuals will be used in the future to revisit these conversations, plan for upcoming conferences, and continue aligning around a shared vision for future-ready learning.

In the words of Claudine Muscat,

Senior Manager, Office of the Permanent Secretary – Ministry for Education, Sport, Youth, Research and Innovation:

At the end of 2025, we launched EduVoices to amplify voices and create space for meaningful engagement. As part of this initiative, we had the privilege of collaborating with Julia Bakay as our keynote artist.

Julia brought professionalism, creativity, and insight to the collaboration from the outset. She well-understood our vision, adapted herself throughout the process, and transformed lengthy discussions into clear, engaging, and impactful visuals.

Her work was very well received by participants and added lasting value beyond the conference itself, supporting continued reflection, dialogue, and knowledge sharing after the event concluded.

I would highly recommend Julia to any organisation looking for a thoughtful, talented, and highly collaborative keynote artist who can elevate both the experience and impact of an event, even remotely.

I'm so honoured to have been there to capture the key takeaways from the first EduVoices Conference through Live Remote Graphic Recording!
