Eugenius Foundation Albania

Eugenius Foundation in Albania is a youth-focused, non-profit organization operating as the national branch of Eugenius Foundation Brussels, dedicated to empowering young people, promoting social inclusion, and strengthening democratic participation in Albania. Starting as an informal group in 2024 and continuing to expand its contribution by bringing together motivated young individuals committed to creating opportunities for youth development, it has since expanded its activities and impact.

From its early stages, Eugenius Foundation in Albania has focused on creating a structured and impactful approach to youth engagement, aiming to transform young people from passive participants into active contributors to society. The organisation works continuously to provide young people with the tools, knowledge, and networks needed to become engaged citizens and drivers of positive change.

Through projects such as trainings, seminars, workshops, conferences, publications, and community-based initiatives, Eugenius Foundation in Albania aims to strengthen youth capacities, increase civic participation, and foster sustainable, community-driven action. It serves as a platform for non-formal education, promoting key competencies such as leadership, critical thinking, communication, and civic awareness, while supporting employability and lifelong learning.

The foundation actively promotes youth participation and networking by connecting young people with mentors, professionals, and peers at local, national, and European levels. Through these efforts, it encourages peer learning, intercultural dialogue, and long-term collaboration, with a strong emphasis on youth-led initiatives and the inclusion of underrepresented groups. The organization aligns its work with European values and policy frameworks while addressing local socio-economic challenges affecting youth.

At the community level, Eugenius Foundation in Albania engages young people in addressing social challenges through civic action projects and volunteer initiatives. These efforts aim to strengthen social cohesion, solidarity, and democratic engagement, while fostering a sense of responsibility and ownership among youth.

Eugenius Foundation in Albania works continuously to position itself as a key actor in youth development, a promoter of active citizenship and social responsibility, and a contributor to sustainable development at both national and European levels.
