Bora Muzhaqi, The Minister of State for Youth and Children organized a weekend full of activities for the youth of Saranda.

Focused on youth, the activities began with the friendly volleyball championship for the youth of Saranda, Konispoli, Delvina and Ksamil, where the Delvina representative team was announced as the winner of this championship.

Beyond the great role that sports activities play in the lives of young people, another very important element continues to be the awareness and education of young people about certain social issues such as violence in society.

The young people part of the project “7×7 – Prevention of violence and crime among young people through sensitization and legal education among peers” implemented with the support of the National Youth Agency, put on a sensitization show about gender-based violence, reinforcing the message that violence must be reacted to.

The activities culminated with the “Youth 360 degrees” party, which took place on the city’s pedestrian street, in which the young people of the city of Saranda and the surrounding municipalities participated, as well as many tourists who have populated Saranda even before the tourist season has started.

The Minister of State for Youth and Children, Bora Muzhaqi appealed to young people to react immediately to acts of violence that are committed against them or their peers. According to Minister Muzhaqi, it is very important that acts of violence are reported to the relevant authorities for an effective solution based on the law.

“Through this project, over 150 young people are being trained, to further train their peers on the importance of protecting human and youth rights, on gender-based violence, to address it, how to react and how be protected from it.” said Minister Muzhaqi, who added that the young people’s acting performances demonstrated that a very small moment can escalate if handled in the wrong way, but also that even the biggest problems can be solved with love and dedication.
