Services, working alongside playwright, actor, director, and teacher, Julian
Felice, will be holding the GibTalks event on Saturday 2nd February

(Technology, Entertainment, Design) series of talks (www.ted.com), GibTalks
will see a range of local speakers deliver fifteen-minute talks on a broad
spectrum of subjects with the aim of focusing on the anecdotal, the personal,
and the light-hearted as opposed to heavy-going academics and agendas.

of the community and will help to make up a rich and varied programme:
Dr Joseph Garcia
Keith Azzopardi
Sonia Golt
Nathan Payas

about an issue close to their hearts. The individuals are:
Noemi Jimenez
