On 17 October 2025, in the framework of the Grants’ Scheme, a meeting was organized with students at the “Jusuf Puka” High School in Durrës. Representatives of the State Police, school staff, students and representatives of the project team participated in this activity by discussing concrete ways to strengthen inter-institutional cooperation and increase students’ awareness of safety in schools and the community. During the meeting, an open and interactive discussion was held with the students, where they shared examples from their daily lives, expressed their opinions on how communication and cooperation between students, teachers and police officers can be improved, how to increase safety in schools and communities, and how to prevent violence or conflicts in schools. These interactions help build mutual trust and a culture of cooperation, making youth more aware and active in creating a safe school and community environment.
This activity was held in the framework of the project “Strengthening Local Mechanisms for Improving Cooperation and Public Safety in the Durres Region” which is being implemented by the Center for Development and Social Initiatives.
