Corporate Social Responsibility
This year, as part of a Christmas initiative, the IfE partnered with the Karl Vella Foundation, which offers psychotherapeutic support to families dealing with illness or loss. Thanks to the generous contributions from the IfE staff, we were able to donate a substantial number of goodie bags for children who are patients, their siblings, and the children of adult patients.
On the 4th of October, the IfE organized a high tea event to observe Pink October, while also celebrating the wedding of one of our esteemed colleagues. All staff members were invited to wear something pink in a gesture of support. This gathering took place on the terrace, allowing staff to partake in tea or coffee and indulge in various sweets while reflecting on the significance of Pink October and sharing in the joy of our colleague’s matrimonial celebration.
The staff and participants of IfE engaged in an effort to gather food for the Foodbank Lifeline Foundation. A collection totaling over 200 euros’ worth of food items was amassed and subsequently donated to the food bank.
On the 5th of October, we celebrated World Teachers’ Day and kicked off Pink October. We organised a dress-down day to celebrate World Teacher’s Day which was dedicated to all educators who inspire and instil that passion for learning in each student day after day. The event was also held to commemorate Pink October 2022. All IfE members of staff were asked to wear something pink to show support towards this annual and meaningful cause. Donations for the Action for Breast Cancer were also accepted during this event. All throughout the Institute, we had money boxes and at the end of the month, we collected 150 Euro.
In March 2022, IfE Staff decided to create a collection drive for Ukraine. In 48 hours, we managed to collect:
Some staff members went to help with the packing of the items donated by various people and localities, to be ably transported to Ukraine.
The Institute for Education cares about the environment since it will impact our future and our children’s future. The vision of the Institute is ‘To shape future generations through an ever-evolving learning environment’ and if the environment is not taken care of, then this will impact with their learning environment.
IfE staff are doing minor changes to help with a few things
IfE is also working on the sustainability of the building and our next phase is to convert the premises to a Near Zero Energy and Carbon Neutral building. Efficient buildings, those that make highly productive use of natural resources are vital to achieving sustainable development. Our aim is to have a near to zero-carbon building that is highly energy-efficient and produces onsite carbon-free renewable energy to counterbalance the annual carbon emissions from operational activities.
The Institute for Education is a Further and Higher Education Institution with Licence number 2016-006
