Non-formal education is\nan opportunity for each and every child to learn and grow physically,\nintellectually, emotionally and socially outside the school context. This\naddition to formal education plays an important role in a child\u2019s life. Class 8\nAzzopardi is an ideal example of such education.

Football<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFootball\nis a sport which could be fun at the same time. We constantly train in order to\nbe good at it. Although we train in separate clubs, what is common between us\nbrings us together. This is how our character is continuously shaped through the\ndisciplinary skills obtained\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cArt\nhelps you to express yourself in many ways. We normally do so by playing a part\nin acting, voicing our tone and message through singing and expressing feeling\nthrough dancing. This helps us build self-confidence whilst being committed to\nwhat we do\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martial\nArts<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMartial\narts, also a form of sport is taught to defend ourselves whilst feeling calm at\nthe same time. Muay Thai, Kung Fu and Ninjutsu are all examples. They are hard\nto practise, but putting this practice in a competition against others is an\nexperience in itself\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swimming<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSwimming\nhas been a part of my life for nine years and it has changed me in many ways. It\ncontinuously helps me to deal with stress because when I am practising this\nsport, I feel so focused that my thoughts vanish and I feel more relaxed\u201d.  <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
