The Ministry of Economy, Culture and Innovation, in cooperation with the Group for Integration and Democracy (GID), successfully completed all activities under this project, strengthening creative and professional opportunities for young people from vulnerable communities. The intervention directly benefited 25 young participants from socio-economically disadvantaged groups, with a strong focus on girls, Roma youth, and young people experiencing economic hardship. Through structured capacity building in visual art, graphic design, digital creativity and cultural-heritage integration, participants developed portfolios that combined modern artistic expression with elements of Albania’s cultural identity.
The most impactful project results included: measurable growth in creative and digital skills, certified through training blocks delivered by national experts and an artistic advisory team; the production of individual and collective artistic works created during mentored practical workshops; the launch of a sustainable virtual gallery, providing long-term global visibility for participants and ensuring post-project continuity of their creative portfolios; and the publication of a curated project catalog, presented during the final public exhibition event, which showcased participants’ artwork, amplified community engagement, and promoted their creative achievements to institutional partners, art professionals and the wider public.
