- A banner reading "Students Win" was displayed on Valletta's bastions in Malta by the "Malta with the Students" initiative.
- The action supports the ongoing student movement in Serbia and is linked to the Exit festival.
- This follows similar "Students Win" banner displays at other Exit festival-related events in Montenegro and Novi Sad.
The message "Students Win" resonated in Malta as members of the Serbian diaspora initiative "Malta with the Students" unfurled a banner on Valletta's historic bastions. The display, timed with the eve of the Exit Spiral Festival, signals solidarity with the ongoing student movement in Serbia.
Organized as a joint effort between the Exit festival and the local Serb community in Malta, the initiative backs student activism. Photos of the banner were widely shared on social media by Exit, the initiative, and Serbian student activists, amplifying the message's reach.
The Spiral Festival, scheduled from July 31 to August 2, features a lineup of international and Serbian artists. This event in Malta is part of a series of actions by the Exit festival to support the student movement. Previously, the "Students Win" message appeared during the "Exit to Montenegro" festival in Ulcinj and on the Petrovaradin Fortress walls in Novi Sad.
These displays highlight the solidarity between the students and the Exit festival, which this year could not be held at its traditional Petrovaradin Fortress location for the first time in its 26-year history. The actions serve as a reaffirmation of Exit's continuous support for the student movement in Serbia.
