social economic and cultural inclusion. The latest research launched by the Observatory included a national study on early school leavers, and the effects of early school leaving on wellbeing. Consultative Fora The Consultative Fora within the President's Foundation engage with diverse communities and groups in Malta and Gozo on issues of direct relevance to their wellbeing. Reports compiled from the findings of the Fora are then presented to the President of Malta, and circulated among the Research Entities and other entities within the President's Foundation. The results of Fora consultations may lead to further research through the Entities, or other action on topics deemed to be of particular importance. The Consultative Fora include a Disability Forum, Interfaith Forum, Community Forum, Transculturalism Forum, Ageing With Dignity Forum, Child Forum, Culture Forum (chaired by Professor Joe Friggieri), and upcoming Gender Forum. A Family Forum exists, but is presently inactive. References Foundations based in Malta Think tanks based in Malta
