Our education work (known as our skills program) initially began in 2016 with a preschool pilot called ‘Stay and Play. This provided a safe space for parents and children, many of whom would otherwise be on the streets.  In 2017 we began working in partnership with a State school in Tirana to offer English lessons to children who had been referred to us by the Child Protection Unit. The project known as ‘Horizons’ continued to be run at our centre in Kafja e Rremes. In 2020, Albanian teacher Megi Herri took over the coordination of the program from departing Brit, Mat Gregory. Other projects in this program include adult education lessons for Albanians, and a parenting, peer-support project.

In 2020 our skills program is reducing barriers to mainstream education, training and employment for some of the most marginalised people in Tirana. As we look forward to 2024, we are committed to increasing the number of marginalised children who are able to access appropriate mainstream schooling options and supporting state provision for those families requiring additional involvement.

Stay and Play

Stay and Play is a program for parents / Carers of young children. The program aims to provide a safe learning environment where parent/carer can learn with their child. A variety of different learning experiences are applied ranging from learning through routine to the practical activity of playing games. The program is not designed as kopisht replacement but rather as a springboard into formal ed.
