As part of the cross-party platform by the Westminster Foundation for Democracy, the UK public body dedicated to strengthening democracy, two-day trainings were facilitated with Albanian youth. The trainings took place in the Durrës region (25-26 February), Gjirokastër (27-28 May) and Fier (1-2 July). Around 15 young people, in each of the regions, were trained on democratic leadership and communication.
During the first day, the trainers focused mainly on models, influences, use according to the governance style and elements that are changing in the new century. Individual analysis and the needs for change were addressed, focusing on the models and adaptation to each of them. Following the first day, training on personal leadership style also took on special importance.
During the second day, young people were trained on the political communication of the new generation and its involvement in decision-making. Stimulation was carried out with elements of public discussion as political representatives. Young people were involved in qualitative discussions and debates about their involvement in politics, concluding the discussion with the finalization of the list of priorities of the new generation. Social activities and tours in the respective cities were also not missing.
