Discover how the European Union is supporting Albanians in protecting the environment through sustainable practices.

About

Meet the EU Green Campaign: a series of not-to-be-missed events promoting awareness and individual behavior towards a European green future, whilst Albania continues progressing towards EU Integration.

Water management, circular economy, biodiversity, green energy, air quality, and climate change: everyone can play their part because when embracing the Green Way, every little action counts.

"Lendina e arusheve"

Kids Book Club at Europe House

“Lëndina e arushëve & Arinjtë duan të fluturojnë” are the attractive books of a children's series written by the talented writer Rovena Rrozhani.

An exciting tale, the story of Tom, the caged bear, who does his best to win freedom. A story that shows that animals need their home, just like people. The narrative gains extra value from the illustrations of Borena Frashëri (Kunze), which make communication with young readers more pleasant and lively. At its core, this book is a celebration of a profound love for nature and conveys important messages to the kids. This event is organised in cooperation with “Qendra e Edukimit per Femije”.
