New Vision Organisation

New Vision is a non-governmental organization which works in 3 main fields: Education, youth activism and promotion of voluntarism. It was founded in 2012 by a group of young people who wanted to address the social issues which affect young people in Albania and abroad. New Vision supports youth initiatives and encourage inclusiveness and participation of youth through creative methods. With the common goal of strengthening support, operation and promotion of initiatives that improve the situation, legislation and policies in the field of youth participation in decision-making and other areas of interest to young people; With the objective of promoting the creation of a climate of cooperation, democratic communication, mentality and system that respects the rights of young people; With the commitment to assist each other on the principle of reciprocity, and with the conviction that the interaction and cooperation is helpful and respectful of the highest interest to youth. New Vision works in 3 main fields: 1. Education. New Vision works with a variety of programs in the field of education in order to improve teaching and turn the school into a multifunctional center for students. The programs that we have implemented and continue to implement focus on the preparation of pedagogical staff with the latest methods of school and student management. Also, a special focus on the educational programs we carry out have students who have implemented a series of programs over the years in order to increase the preparation of students in the individual aspect: mainly through debate and public speaking programs, as well as programs aimed at turning school environments into multifunctional centers with diverse activities and outside the school curriculum. Our Education programs extend throughout Albania. 2. Youth Activism New Vision has been opening a youth center called "NeVi" in the center of Tirana for 4 years now. This center is an environment that all young people in Tirana, organizations or institutions can use for free to realize various activities, meetings, trainings, publications or to spend their free time. Also, despite the required activities in this center, a series of different groups dealing with graffiti, photography, video, music, literature, etc. have been set up. We aim to extend this as a program throughout Albania by opening a series of such centers. 3. Volunteering "I am a Volunteer" campaign has been running for 5 years. The aim of the campaign is to provide a facilitating service with young volunteers at every residential institution for categories in need throughout Albania. From this campaign we have two very positive examples: the Institute of pupils with visual impairment , the Institute of Children who do not listen to both of these institutions for years is offered daily voluntary service by engaging a number of over 3000 young people in total and providing service daily for nearly 200 children. New Vision has a rich experience in organizing national and international youth activities and gives the opportunity to local youngsters to meet and interact with their peers from Europe. The organisation’s target group is youth between 15 to 25 years old, regardless of their educational, cultural, ethnic, etc. background. Our activities are always based on societys needs and interest. Nowadays we are one of the organizations with the largest number of active volunteers in Albania.
