The agreement aims to empower and support youth and students through the development of new strategies, the orientation of youth policies, and the promotion of educational, professional, and social activities that encourage their engagement and involvement in society.
In a significant step towards strengthening the connections between higher education and Albanian youth, the Metropolitan University of Tirana and the National Youth Agency have signed a cooperation agreement. This partnership seeks to create new opportunities for students and young people in formal and non-formal education while enhancing social, cultural, and advisory activities for youth.
The agreement is dedicated to empowering and supporting young people and students by offering opportunities for the development of new strategies, the orientation of youth policies, and fostering activities that enable youth to engage in social and professional life. The parties have committed to planning and drafting strategies that support the activation, empowerment, and promotion of students and youth while creating opportunities for the development of various educational and professional activities.
Key Areas of Collaboration:
One of the goals of the agreement is to plan and design joint strategies that will support and empower students and youth in the country. This includes creating opportunities for activities related to education, personal development, and youth engagement in social and cultural fields.
Moreover, the collaboration will focus on identifying and orienting youth policies, exchanging experiences and ideas between institutions, and contributing to the development of policies that address the interests and needs of young people.
This partnership will also extend to the organization and implementation of meetings, conferences, seminars, workshops, and training sessions that provide opportunities for students and youth to participate in various activities aimed at enhancing their professional and social skills. These activities will include internships, competitions, and awareness campaigns designed to foster interaction and collaboration between youth and society.
Support for Youth Initiatives and Activities:
Another key aspect of the agreement is the commitment to provide institutional support for initiatives and activities aimed at empowering youth, particularly in innovative and technological fields. For instance, projects like RoboTech, a platform encouraging young people to develop robot prototypes to address social and environmental challenges, will receive renewed support through this collaboration.
This support will include providing the necessary resources for the development of these initiatives, including organizing competitions, practical training, and other activities that encourage youth to apply their theoretical knowledge to real-world projects. Through these initiatives, students and young people will have the opportunity to showcase their creativity,technical skills, and innovative spirit, preparing them for the challenges of the modern labor market and enabling them to play an active role in societal development.
Additionally, the partnership aims to create a supportive environment where young people’s ideas and projects can further develop, granting them access to mentoring, technological resources, and professional networks. In this way, initiatives like RoboTech and similar activities will not only serve as opportunities to demonstrate skills but also as launching pads for successful careers and the further development of youth talent.
Participation in International Projects and Activities:
As part of the collaboration, opportunities will be provided for participation in jointly funded projects of mutual interest, enabling students and young people to develop their skills in an international context. The agreement also includes the development of educational and professional practices, as well as opportunities for internships and dual studies that will enhance youth engagement in various professional fields.
Support for Shared Resources and Activities:
Another important aspect of the collaboration is the provision of human and financial resources for the organization of joint activities. This will enable the creation of a shared platform for the development of youth and educational activities, increasing opportunities for growth and career advancement for young people.
The agreement between the Metropolitan University of Tirana and the National Youth Agency represents a significant step forward in strengthening the links between education and youth while offering new opportunities for the development of Albanian students and young people. This partnership will contribute to equipping youth with the professional and social skills necessary to actively engage in social and professional life.
In this way, both parties are committed to working towards a brighter future for youth by ensuring opportunities for development and engagement in all areas of social and professional life.
