On 9th December 2025, an awareness-raising meeting was organised with 10th grade students, at the “Dodë Kaçaj” high school in Bajzë, Malesi e Madhe, by “Woman to Woman” NGO in the framework of the SCPA Program Grants’ Scheme and the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence Campaign.
The activity aimed to strengthen students’ knowledge of community policing and the active role of young people in increasing security. At first, students were introduced to the principles of this model of cooperation between police and citizens, and then they were organized into four working groups that analysed real situations related to conflicts between young people, behavior on social networks, safety near schools, and perceptions of the police in the community. During the conversation, students noted that awareness of everyday behaviors and rapid response to unsafe situations can make a real difference in the community. The need for more clarity and support when youth face difficulties was also expressed, as well as the importance of the way of communication on social networks. During the discussions, they also identified the main actors in the management of problematic cases and proposed concrete ways of cooperation between the school, family, police and municipality.
