New Open-Air Cinema for Youth Gatherings

Albania2

Written By Jona Fani (YES 2014-2015, Albania, placed by PAX in De Pere, WI)

Driola Kraja (YES 2018-2019, Albania, placed by AFS-USA in Cedar Grove, WI), together with her friends from “ARKA”, the youth council in Shkoder, are in the progress of building a mini open-air cinema from scratch for youth gatherings in their town. Due to the pandemic, indoor social gatherings are not allowed, so this open-air cinema will serve as a space for the community to still be able to enjoy their free time while safely interacting with one another. They’re planning on screening a selection of new and critically acclaimed movies every Thursday night. This new recreational space will not only host movie screenings, but also other social events including book clubs, acting, and singing groups. Our alumni are always committed to empowering the youth within their communities, so we are all looking forward to seeing what Driola and her friends organize in this new social space!
