The Albanian Center for Human Rights (ACHR) collaborated with the
Albanian Ministry of Education to bring human rights education into all
public schools in the country. They took advantage of the
post-communist transition period, negotiating with the new democratic
government officials to launch a long-term process in which they would
prepare Albanian citizens to participate fully in a democracy. Coming
out of a political context in which all policies were decided and
enacted on a national level, they were able to create a vision to
affect the entire education system and have a nationwide impact.
