In the framework of the project "Fighting organized crime and supporting the development of young people in Dibër", supported by the Global Initiative Against International Organized Crime, Together for Life Association is organizing in Dibër with high school youth activities that focus on raising their awareness of the dangers of organized crime.
The first activity took place with young people from the Vocational High School "Nazmi Rushti", Peshkopi, where through the involvement of young people in discussions and interactive games was shared with them age-appropriate information about the ways and means used by criminal groups to involve young people in illegal acts inside and outside Albania, on risk factors and the consequences of engaging in such activities.
Through this project, TFL aims to address the main causes of youth exposure to organized crime, such as lack of opportunities to integrate into the environment where they live, lack of income, low level of education, which push them to engage in illegal activities and fall prey to organized crime or violent extremism.
The young participants were very active in discussing these topics, highlighting the need for support from families, schools and institutions in realizing their wishes and dreams through legal means and means. The project aims to increase interaction, networking and cooperation between young people and local businesses, providing training opportunities and professional internships, as well as youth employment.
