To mark the Albanian National Youth Day, together with the National Youth Congress and the Franco German Youth Office, we hosted the Culture Forward Conference on Thursday.
We engaged with artists, academics, policymakers and youth representatives to explore the role that culture can play as a driver of political change, youth movements and regional cooperation.
After the key remarks of Dr. Thomas Kunze - Head of KAS office in Albania, several clear messages emerged from the discussions:
• Culture is political, because it shapes how citizens think and interact within society.
• Regional youth cooperation remains a cornerstone for peace and a shared future.
• Culture often builds bridges where politics creates divides.
