About us - The Shipwreck

Recognizing the importance of communication in the world, the  Maltese Province of the Conventual Franciscans wanted to move in action  even on this field.

In 1999 a project was prepared and approved. In this project it is  clearly stated that understanding and giving a value to the  communication phenomenon means having an open mentality and a specific  competence. With this in mind a centre was created to study in more  detail communication and to help in transmitting the right message to  the right receiver.

The centre is not only at the service of the members of the same  Province, but at the service of all those who need a helping hand in  communication. For this reason the centre was called ĊAK, which stands  for the Maltese “Ċentru Animazzjoni u Komunikazzjoni”: Animation and  Communication Centre www.cakmalta.org.

ĊAK is a Christian inspired organization, but it does not deal only  with transmitting religious messages but acts also as a link and meeting  place for all those who work in the communication field.
