Thank You Note
The Institute for Albanian Municipalities extends its sincere appreciation to all participants who joined yesterday’s training in Lezhë, focused on textile reuse, social entrepreneurship, green local jobs, and the role of municipalities in the circular economy.
A special thanks goes to our local partner, Artizanati Zadrima Center, for the warm hospitality, commitment, and valuable contribution to the successful organization of this activity. We are particularly grateful to Ms. Teresa Gega for her dedication, positive energy, and important role in connecting local craftsmanship with community empowerment, women’s economic participation, sustainable tourism, and local development.
It was especially meaningful to hear participants express their appreciation to the Australian taxpayers, whose support, through the Australian Government – Direct Aid Program 2025–2026, made this cooperation possible and created space for dialogue, practical ideas, and future local initiatives.
This activity showed once again that the circular economy is not only an environmental concept. It is also a real opportunity for local employment, social entrepreneurship, women and youth empowerment, preservation of traditional craftsmanship, and stronger links with local tourism.
Thank you to everyone for your participation, contribution, and spirit of cooperation.
