TIRANA, 23 DECEMBER 2019 - Experts from the project "Municipalities for Europe" organized in the premises of the Municipality of Tirana the following training of leaders and representatives of the European Integration Units in the Municipalities of Albania.
The topic selected by MfE was on "Application Procedures under the Erasmus Plus Call - Capacity Building in the Youth Field 2020"

Following the welcoming remarks by the representatives of the Ministry of Youth and Sports as well as the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs, Ms. Jolanda Trebicka made a presentation on the topics of the training session as well as discussed on the expectations from participants and experts that were present. 
Further, the experts that were specifically called for the training, Ms. Ana Dervishi, representative of Beyond Barriers, National Contact Point for “Erasmus Plus Youth in Action” and BpE Expert Ms. Irena Topalli, made a presentation for the attendees on the ‘Erasmus Plus: Youth Component’, focusing particularly on its objectives and priorities. The heads of Integration Units were able to familiarize themselves with the details and technicalities of required documents, building possible partnerships, plan of activities, methodology, etc.

During the training was also present Mr. Bekim Murati, Director of AMVV, who reminded the participants that starting from the first week of January there will be an increased communication between ministries and municipalities regarding the screening process, or implementation by local government authorities, of their integration tasks, according to the respective chapters.
Trainings like this one, he stated, have been and are very necessary, not just for building your professional capacity, but because we have already arrived at the moment when you must translate all the gained knowledge into concrete results in your daily work as a leader or experts of integration units in each of the 61 municipalities.

This also means an intensification of your units' interactions with the AMVV through the Platform, as well as an increase in the quality of your reporting timeliness - in particular regarding the Matrix, its completion and delivery that need to be taken with utmost seriousness by Integration Units and Municipalities.
