Events 48 maltatoday, SUNDAY, 27 SEPTEMBER 2015 HSBC Water Programme educates students during summer recess As thousands of students from across Malta prepare to head back to school, a large number of Skola Sajf students will have stories to tell about the vital importance of water and the need to do every- thing we can to save this precious resource. For the third consecutive year, HSBC Water Programme – Catch the Drop campaign worked with the government's summer school programme, Skola Sajf, and used all its activities to disseminate the message of water conserva- tion. The campaign message is es- timated to have reached 6,812 students in Malta – as well as an- other 696 in Gozo – with nearly 100 staff members from the Bank volunteering in the programme. For Skola Sajf 2015, HSBC or- ganised shows inspired by the movie Frozen, conducted work- shops on the popular water songs 'Water Life' and 'Catch the Drop', and held a series of performanc- es, experiments, and quizzes on the theme of water. Meanwhile, in Gozo, where HSBC helped fund a new view- ing point on the site of Għar Ilma aqueduct and organised visits for Skola Sajf participants, the mes- sage of water conservation was echoed by Bishop Mario Grech. In a letter to Gozitan children, Mgr Grech asked them to look after the environment and not to waste water. Glenn Bugeja, HSBC Water Pro- gramme coordinator, said: "The HSBC Malta Water Programme is aimed at achieving two vital objectives: raising awareness about water conservation among people from all strata of society, and mobilising students through water projects to encourage their development as pro-active citi- zens for water conservation and environmental sustainability." The water conservation message during Skola Sajf 2015 reached 6,812 students in Malta and 696 in Gozo 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show: Showcasing Citroën's strengths in creativity, comfort and technology Citroën has been boldly setting trends in automotive creativity for some 95 years now, with cars that are closely attuned to their epoch. Comfortable cars. Cars with inimitable style. Cars that are a genuine pleasure to have around. And as well as the cars them- selves, Citroën also extends its highly individual outlook to serv- ices and the dealer network, offer- ing customers an enjoyable, trou- ble-free experience from start to finish. It's a unique state of mind, and it's never been stronger. True to its winning image in WTCC, Citroën is well and truly in the race as ever, proudly pursu- ing its ambitions at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Citroën's two concept cars at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show give a good idea of how it sees the car of the future. - World première: Cactus M concept car. This is a fresh, vi- brant take on the C4 Cactus, and a fitting tribute to this car's incom- parable design and personality. This chirpy, outdoor car clearly has leisure activities uppermost in mind, much like the mythical Méhari of years gone by. Every- thing about it extols the Citroën values. - European première: Aircross concept car. This is a great inter- pretation of how Citroën sees the SUV. On this, its maiden Euro- pean outing, it's showing off an outline that expresses the global potential of Citroën's upmarket positioning. With these two cars, Citroën yet again asserts its unstoppable ca- pacity for creativity. Citroën has released several new models over the last few months, all expressing its unique set of values. First came the C4 Cactus, a crossover of an entirely different kind, a unique personality —tech- nological and comfortable— on the urban scene. C4 Cactus has won more than 35 awards, includ- ing the prestigious World Design Car of the Year prize, awarded on 2 April in New York. For Frankfurt it's sporting new equipment (such as the asymmet- rical fold-down rear seats), a new engine (BlueHDi 100 S&S ETG6) and a new body colour (Jelly Red) that makes it even more irresist- ible. Then there's the Citroën C1, also with new equipment (Active City Brake, AFIL) and new colour schemes such as Blue Lagoon, for even more personality. Two best sellers are at the Frank- furt show in revamped versions that keep the closest track of cus- tomer expectations: the new C4 and the new Berlingo Multispace, key players in their respective market segments. Comfort is the key common fac- tor across the whole of the Cit- roën range. Citroën holds unrivalled know- how in designing cars that offer consistent all-round comfort. And the Citroën conception of comfort factors in today's lifestyle preferences to keep pace with shifting customer expectations. Citroën harnesses cutting-edge powertrain technologies to of- fer customers the very best. We see this in the latest- generation powerplants such as the BlueHDi 150 S&S diesel unit with manual transmission and the BlueHDi 180 S&S EAT6 automatic, both of which power today's Citroën C5. Then there's the PureTech range of petrol units, including the three-cylinder turbocharged PureTech engine, voted Engine of the Year, available on C3, C3 Pi- casso, C4 Cactus, C4, C4 Picasso and Grand C4 Picasso. J. Moreau & Fils celebrates 200th anniversary In 1814 Jean-Joseph Moreau, a young cooper, marries a local winemaker's daughter and in- herits the oldest wine House of Chablis. Driven by passion for the vine and traditional values, he runs the business incredibly well and becomes very quickly one of the most important pro- ducers of wine in Chablis. He was a pioneer in the region and his success kept on growing. To mark this anniversary, all Chablis 2014 vintage will bear the special 'edition anniver- saire' label. Over the years, J. Moreau & Fils established on the interna- tional market and has become a prestigious house, success- ful worldwide. Since 1814, J. Moreau & Fils has been rising to the challenge of the Chab- lis terroir to bring out the very best of its single grape varietal, Chardonnay, in pursuit of its signature white wines that are complex, elegant, and precisely balanced. The style of Moreau's wines can be described as pure and authentic characterised by an original blend: subtle minerali- ty and intense fruitiness, struc- ture and aromatic complexity, and a constant hint of smoke, proof of a preserved terroir. The Chablis appellation cov- ers 5,000 hectares spread over 19 communes, and has four lev- els of appellation: Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis Premier Cru, Chablis Grand Cru. 79 lieux- dits (plots recognized for their own topographic or histori- cal specificities) are classed as producing premier crus. The winegrowers of Chablis have grouped these lieux-dits into 17 climats (precisely delineated plots of land that enjoy specific geological and climatic condi- tions), which are now used to classif y the wines. Chablis' premier cru vine- yards are found either side of the River Serein in the com- munes of Chablis, Fontenay, Maligny, Chichée, La Chapelle- Vaupelteigne, Courgis, Fleys and Beines. Since 1938, 111 hectares spread in a crescent shape on the right bank of the River Serein and facing south/south- west for optimal sunshine, have been classified as Chablis grand cru. Seven climats carry the worldwide reputation of the great white wines of Chab- lis: Les Clos, Vaudésir, Valmur, Blanchot, Les Preuses, Gre- nouilles and Bougros. J.
