🗣️ Humanists Malta committee member Joanna Onions was recently invited to speak to 14–16 year-old students preparing for a debate on euthanasia at a Summer School run by the Gozo branch of the English-Speaking Union (ESU) of Malta. 🌿 Joanna shared her humanist stance in favour of assisted dying, balanced by another speaker presenting an opposing viewpoint, after which the students held their own debate on the subject. 💬 It’s inspiring to see ESU Gozo encouraging young people to discover their voice and develop critical thinking about complex and important topics. ✨![]()
