About Pikëpamja
The vision aims to provide practices that encourage and empower young girls and boys to be involved in decision-making processes in their community. This is to be achieved by providing a platform through which issues related to their needs and concerns are addressed, giving priority to young men and women and marginalized groups in our society. All this will be achieved through the writings that the participants will write addressing different topics that affect them and the country in which they live. In this way, invest in the capacities of young men and women to draw attention to the issues that concern them and promote the inclusion of youth in the public sphere. As well as increasing public awareness of youth perspectives.
