In the framework of the project “Leadership is for EveryOne”, Together for Life in collaboration with National Youth Congress Network organized an multiplier event on 20 October, in Tirana, to share the project achievements and success stories.
Young people, youth workers, and representatives from various youth NGOs and the National Youth Congress participated in this event. During the event, the TFL team highlighted the project’s goals, accomplishments, and the activities conducted at both European and local levels.
The event fostered an interactive discussion, inviting attendees to offer their perspectives and feedback. The focus was on empowering girls and young
women, understanding and addressing the challenges they face in leadership roles in Albania, and exploring strategies for increasing male participation in
supporting women’s empowerment. We also discussed ways to enhance the skills of youth workers to better advocate for women’s leadership.
Participants, including those who engaged in job-shadowing and internships, shared their personal experiences and how the project influenced their views on
leadership and gender equality.
