EFSLI Spring School and Ta'Marija, Mosta


With colleagues from Finland and Greece at Ta'Marija



Ta'Marija's resident musicians

Last weekend I attended my first EFSLI (European Forum of Sign Language Interpreters) event - a Spring School held here in Malta where Kyra Pollitt, an extremely experienced and well-respected interpreter from the UK delivered a wealth of training relating to voiceover skills.

It was a fantastic opportunity to meet other sign language interpreters from all over Europe and to learn about how the profession is developing in different countries.

On the Saturday evening we went to Ta'Marija restaurant in Mosta (
www.tamarija.com) for a sumptuous buffet of traditional Maltese fayre followed by dancing!

I'm already saving up for the next one and looking for an excuse to go back to Ta'Marija!

Mosta Dome






Mosta Dome, also known as the Mosta Rotunda or St Marija Assunta is the 3rd largest unsupported dome in the world. On 9th April 1942 during WW2 a bomb pierced the roof whist the people were inside celebrating mass but the bomb did not explode.
