“Superschools: An EU-Funded Initiative Connecting Students and Schools in the Western Balkans”

The EU’s “Superschools” initiative is enhancing regional collaboration by linking students and educational institutions throughout the Western Balkans.

According to the European Union Delegation in Tirana, the program facilitates exchange projects, fosters intercultural dialogue, and creates modern learning environments, allowing young people to forge friendships, share ideas, and contribute to a more inclusive future.

“Superschools” is designed to promote interactions among schools within the Western Balkans, with a focus on advancing peacebuilding, reconciliation, and intercultural dialogue among educational communities, students, and their neighborhoods.

This initiative equips schools and educational institutions to provide improved opportunities for youth by establishing innovative and contemporary learning spaces.

Additionally, the program strengthens connections among young people across the Balkans, encourages cultural exchange, and fosters partnerships among schools, governments, and communities to develop a more inclusive educational framework.

Through this initiative, the youth of the Western Balkans can experience enhanced cooperation, new teaching methodologies, technological advancements, and educational innovations, all while cultivating mutual respect and intercultural dialogue across diverse regions.

The beneficiaries of this program include 43 schools, 88 teachers, and over 300 students.

The EU Delegation in Tirana is encouraging young individuals to join the program to share experiences and collaborate with peers throughout the region.

In addition to “Superschools,” the European Union has funded several educational projects in Albania, such as “EU for Schools,” which has led to the modernization of approximately 58 schools, along with initiatives that promote startups and innovation. (February 21)
