Through Project Citizen the project “Understanding Civic and Faith-Based Education in Albania” has made an important contribution in promoting and fostering civic values and participation, religious tolerance and understanding. It has also encouraged and supported concrete efforts to establish cooperation between local stakeholders, including public and non-public educational institutions, religious communities, local authorities, civil society, media, etc.
