Utrecht/Organisation New Dutch Waterline (responsible for maintenance and redevelopment of fortresses) and the City of Paola are partners in the project Repair: a project in exchanging knowledge in the field of military heritage.
On behalf of Paola Kevin Borg (council Paola) and Malcolm Borg (Heritage Enterprise) attended the workshop that took place in Utrecht, September 24 – 26. Their project is the redevelopment of a former military prison, partly already changed into a sports centre.
One of the activities in the busy programme was a visit to and dinner at the Fortress 'Fort aan de Klop', near the river Vecht. Gertrud van Dam, responsible for cultural exchanges and a 'contact broker' between Utrecht and Malta enjoyed the evening with the very friendly Maltese guests. It turned out that they have some mutual acquaintances and share many interests. Malcolm and Kevin offered Gertrud to introduce her to some missing links in her network. Being in Malta Gertrud will surely contact them.
