The Council of Europe recently supported the compulsory training programme of the School of Directors with modules pertaining to Democratic Culture.

30 school principals, led by experts from the Council of Europe's education department, enhanced their skills and knowledge on democratic education. The course provided them with essential resources to promote values such as democracy, inclusiveness, tolerance, and respect for human rights in pre-university education institutions. Through interactive discussions and exchanges of experiences and ideas, participants explored ways to effectively integrate these competencies into the education of younger generations.

The activity was welcomed by Giulia Re, Head of the Council of Europe Office in Tirana, and Jola Kepi, Director of the School of Directors.

This initiative was conducted in the framework of the Council of Europe Project “Strengthening Democratic Citizenship Education in Albania” financed by the Swedish International Development Agency (Sida).
