A regional training course on Human Rights Education closed on 24 July 2024 at the Hotel Mondial in Tirana, bringing together youth workers, students, activists — and police officers.

The course ran from 21 April to 24 July 2024, organised by Roma Versitas Albania with the support of the Council of Europe. Twenty-five participants from a deliberately mixed set of backgrounds worked through the Compass methodology for human rights education with young people.

Putting activists and police officers in the same room for three months is not a photo opportunity. It is the slowest and most durable form of advocacy we do.
