It was an honour to have EU Commissioner Glenn Micallef at the Kinostudio and National Film Archive in Tirana. #EU4Culture

[Glenn Micallef @GlennMicallef]

From the National Film Archive to the revitalised Kinostudio site, Albania’s cinematic heritage is being preserved and modernised with EU support.

Digitisation, restoration, and cultural investment are giving new life to old stories.

Protecting our shared memory is about honouring and learning from the past whilst inspiring future generations.

📷 Photography enthusiasts stopped this weekend at the T’Shëlbuemit Church of Rubik & Ethnographic Museum of Kruja to snap their best photos as part of the 'Snap the Site Competition'.

Mentored by the photographer Armando Babani, the participants also had the opportunity to learn some techniques that better showcase the values of these sites, newly rehabilitated thanks to the EU support through the #EU4Culture 🇪🇺 programme, implemented by UNOPS.

Since these were our last stops for the national contest, we advise you to stay tuned for the next updates! 🙌
