The main goal of the activities was to introduce this new initiative of the South Eastern Europe to the young people of 3 districts of Albania (Tirana, Shkodra and Vlora). The beneficiaries of this activity were 131 young people (43 young people from Youth NGOs and universities of Tirana, 49 young people from the secondary schools of Vlora and 39 young people form the secondary schools and university of Shkodra).

Young people are introduced to the main objectives of Link Diversity initiative that are:

  • to support and when possible to rehabilitate the multiethnic and multicultural society
  • to develop towards a democratic citizenship

Young people not only were interested in the project, but they came up with different ideas on how to develop the Link with Albania and within the region. They strongly supported the regional project and showed big interest in receiving more information through the project web side.

As follows are some ideas coming up from the young people that participated in the meetings organized. These ideas show the way in which youth understands the Link Diversity initiative and also what they can do to promote the existent diversities within and outside Albania.

  • To set up an education strategy which will include all the ages and strengthen the collaboration with the Government of Albania.
  • Regional Round Table inviting children from all the Balkan countries.
  • Different ways of information exchange within the region.

Young people stressed out the great importance of media involvement in all the cross border activities that will be organized.

Other then these activities, the volunteer members of IHA and AFPA in collaboration with other youth NGOs like AYC, etc, have distributed posters and leaflets of information in all the Universities of Tirana.

Approximately 600 informative leaflets are distributed, so the minimum 600 students are informed on the Link Diversity project. The poster distribution and other informative materials inform about 5.000 students.

The activity implementation was also supported by the Youth Center “YES” in Tirana, Youth Center “Knocking” in Shkodra and Women Center in Vlora.

Since the activities were successfully supported by the young people we find it important to implement regional projects with the greatly youth involvement.

 Additional Information
  In the latter part of 1999, the Council of Europe took the initiative of launching, with the endorsement of the Stability Pact Working Table 1 (on Democratisation and Human Rights), a series of consultations in South-East Europe on human rights and minority issues. This was done in co-operation with the OSCE High Commissioner on National Minorities.

The report of the Special Delegation of Council of Europe Advisors on Minorities which undertook these consultations was submitted to the Portoroz Conference on Inter-ethnic Relations and Minorities in South-Eastern Europe, held on 16-17 March 2000, co-organised by the Slovenian government and the Council of Europe. It served as the basis for the Framework Programme of Action adopted at the conference, one of the main priorities of which is the undertaking of a wide-ranging awareness-raising campaign to promote multi-ethnic society and democratic citizenship for all.

This campaign will form an important part of the wider effort to bring about sustainable stability in South-East Europe through. Its key objectives are twofold:

  • the promotion and, where necessary, rehabilitation of multi-ethnic and multicultural society
  • the development of democratic citizenship

These two objectives must be seen in conjunction: multi-ethnic society must be firmly rooted in a common effort to promote democratic values, especially citizenship rights and the equal empowerment of all citizens for sharing responsibility for the life of their country as a whole. Genuine democratic society entails a strong culture of respect for human rights and the rule of law and the free expression of opinions as well as the free pursuit of personal and common objectives by citizens individually and collectively. Protection of ethnic communities and minorities is a matter of concern for society as a whole.

Ownership of the concepts of a multi-ethnic and multicultural society, as a prerequisite for peace, stability and prosperity, should be regarded as a significant achievement for all the countries of the region. Genuine implementation of them will not fail to open up real European perspectives for each country so committed. In this respect, the Campaign will seek to advance what may be called a model of society based on European values and principles, as set out in the legal and political standards of the Council of Europe and the OSCE as well as the Copenhagen criteria for the enlargement of the EU.
