TC ” RELIGIOUS DIVERSITY AND UNDERSTANDING’’

About the organizer

The organizer of the project is “Lule Albania”, a non-formal group from Berlin, established in 2014 as a follow-up of an EVS project in Tirana, Albania.

The initial idea of the organization was the implementation of project work supporting children with disabilities and their families in Albania.

However, we are now engaging in youth projects with all Balkan states.

We want to work with young people who are actively engaged in civil society who are willing to cultivate a critical attitude towards politics and history within their peer groups.

We are aiming at fostering social development and modernization through peer-to-peer education, hoping to encourage and develop a sense of civil responsibility as a striving force for social reform.
