In cooperation with the People’s Advocate, the Council of Europe organized an open and inspiring discussion with students of the Sami Frashëri high school in Tirana on human rights and democracy.
The students took a journey through history, not through textbooks, but through the documentary "Eyes of the Soul", produced by Kujto.al, that covers historical events from Albania's recent past.
Educational and informative, the documentary sparked quite interesting discussions among the students about the importance of protecting and ensuring human rights as a guarantee for a democratic society.
The participation and contribution of the People’s Advocate, Erinda Ballanca, added significant value to the subsequent discussions on youth engagement in the protection of human rights and democracy.
The activity was organized within the framework of the Council of Europe’s project "Strengthening Democratic Citizenship Education in Albania”, financed by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida). Through such thematic initiatives, the project empowers students to become informed and active participants in a democratic society.
