00:00 I'm Paul Emberley and I'm the development lead for this the Western Centre project in Malta.
00:05 What we're doing here is transforming this historic place. It's 212 years old
00:10 and we're restoring it and transforming it for the next generation and beyond.
00:16 Today's a very special day because we're building a time capsule. We have a short
00:21 ceremony about to take place. We're going to plant this capsule into the ground.
00:27 Children have written letters all over the schools in the Malta area and they're writing
00:34 to the future and this capsule will be opened in 100 years time. Well the building work started
00:40 in November 2022. We have another six months or so to go before the completion of this project
00:46 but it will be spectacular. It will be still a church and a place of worship on a Sunday
00:52 but it will be designed especially for all the communities to use and contain an Alden cafe
00:59 and it'll be used for concert performances, classical concert performances for which this
01:03 building is ideally suited. We're standing here in the gallery of the Western Centre in Malta,
01:09 perhaps the most historic part of the building which was put up in 1811. These pews are original
01:16 to this building and are considered to be a great historical significant.
