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.
