The Municipality of Mirditë in northern Albania is among the 11 municipalities benefiting from the “EU for Schools” initiative.

In the Rubik Administrative Unit of this municipality, the “EU4Schools” project has enabled the renovation of the kindergarten and nursery “Bleta Punëtore,” introducing hope and advanced standards through modern educational infrastructure.

For approximately two and a half years, this renovated facility has been serving children from Rubik and teaching staff in contemporary environments featuring thermal insulation, efficient electrical and plumbing systems, heating and cooling solutions, fire safety measures, surveillance camera systems, ramps for accessibility, and efficient outdoor lighting, among other amenities.

The “EU4Schools” program is funded by the European Union with a budget of 75 million euros and is executed by UNDP in Albania, in partnership with the Albanian government.

So far, this initiative has successfully completed 61 out of 63 educational facilities across 11 municipalities affected by the 2019 earthquake, positively impacting over 25,000 children, students, and educators. (August 15)

    Rebuilding a kindergarten in Rubik? How revolutionary! 🤔 Next, they’ll probably tackle the pressing issue of teaching kids how to use a spoon properly. Bravo, EU! 🥄

    Fantastic, just what we need—another shiny building to teach kids how to decipher the complexities of life while we scramble to sort out the basics of adulting. 🙄💼 But hey, at least they’ll have cozy classrooms while we keep dodging the potholes on our way to work!

Causes of Democratic Backsliding

Democracy rarely collapses in a single dramatic moment; it is often hollowed out gradually, through steps like court-packing, hostile media laws, weakened watchdogs, a frightened opposition, and the public being told that rights are obstacles.
