The Truck Tour event in Malta will also feature the following activities:
Interactive Mobile Ability Park:
Aimed at creating awareness of the barriers people with disabilities face in everyday life, the Mobile Ability Park invites visitors to master a fixed course in a wheelchair, overcoming obstacles such as curves, narrow passages, stairs and a seesaw. Visitors can also challenge themselves to identify sounds, smells and objects of everyday life using limited senses.
Truck Rally:
Combining the features of the Mobility Park and a quiz, the Truck Rally provides a fun opportunity to learn more about the truck and its features. Participants can form small teams to answer a range of questions based on the “For Diversity. Against Discrimination.” and “European Year of Equal Opportunities for All” campaigns, and complete several other challenges.
Diversity Song Contest:
Visitors will be asked to participate in the live karaoke contest on the truck stage, performing songs from the Diversity Karaoke Sampler CD. Popular hits like "Respect" by Aretha Franklin and "People are People" by Depeche Mode are sure to entertain the crowd. Tune in and enjoy the show!
"Breaking Stereotypes" poster exhibition:
Last year, the European “Breaking Stereotypes” Poster Competition encouraged hundreds of art and design students from across the EU to send in creative designs that raised awareness of diversity and discrimination issues. This year, truck visitors have the opportunity to inspect the 20 top entries selected by the jury and get more information on this year’s "Breaking Stereotypes" Photo Competition.
Truck Game Show:
What do you know about the European Union, anti-discrimination policy and the “For Diversity. Against Discrimination.” campaign? Truck tour visitors can prove their knowledge through this live quiz show taking place on the truck stage. Two teams of three compete against each other, employing strong teamwork and a quick hand.
