In this period we have implemented several projects, such as Diaspora 2.0 and Tirana Art Fest. In addition to these two projects where we are the applicant, we have been partners in other projects and initiatives in the field of gender and equal opportunities as well as the theme to combat violence against women.

LIBURNETIK staff come from different profiles, professional experts in their work who can give their expertise in any case. There are also lots of volunteers who are part of the organisation and will be active in every activity undertaken by the network.
ALF Network activities are in the same line with LIBURNETIK activities. Some organisations working together make a bigger impact in improving society. Furthermore, sharing experiences with other organisations of the network which work on the same area would be an added value to our work.
On Tuesday, January 23, a meeting was held with the winning applicants of the Call for expression of interest on joint ventures, who were also participants to the online networking sessions held during the month of December. The call aimed to strengthen and promote cooperation between the organizations of the South and the North of the Mediterranean, with an increased focus on the involvement and activation of the organizations of the Albanian Network, as an initiative undertaken by the Albanian Head of the Network.

The proposed activities, in accordance with the scope of the collaborating organizations, fall into the following thematic areas: diversity, gender, education and media, Euro-Med youth engagement and cultural/intercultural dialogue. In terms of the type of activities, there is a diversity, starting from the production of materials such as videos, to training, webinars and competitions.
The online meeting brought together 17 participants, who had the opportunity to receive more detailed information on the obligations of each party involved in the proposal and later in the implementation of the activities, on the implementation deadlines and issues of visibility of the activities.

This annual report depicts the situation of hateful and discriminative discourse in the Albanian media environment. The report is based on the media monitoring conducted from January 2021 – April 2022. The unit of monitoring have been the incidents that contained hateful and discriminatory discourse (HDD) produced by, shared or even allowed to be expressed in media outlets, including traditional, new and social media.
Incidents were identified using key words and daily monitoring of different media channels. The identified incidents were examined and then reported based on the reporting instrument designed by Prof. Snjezana Milivojevic. The focus of the monitoring were incidents that contained hate speech directed at gender, ethnicity, religion, sexual minorities, migrants and refugees. Nevertheless, new categories emerged, i.e., disabled people, deceased persons, journalists, political opponents, etc., which were also reported and included in this report.
The three most prevalent categories that were subject to hate speech and discriminatory discourse were ethnicity (38.5%), gender (20.5%) and sexual minority (12%). For years, the situation has remained the same for these categories, and, despite the efforts done by media organisations and media authorities, the situation continues to be problematic.
