During March the working group members were gathered to set the dates for the coming meetings and the topics of the trainings, that they will have in the second phase of this term. They had some ideas about the pilot projects that will be implementing, and now they are writing a pilot project.

The synthesis of the Green Agenda document now it is published, and it is a booklet in two languages, in Albanian and in English. It is named “Values of Preza”, in which are summarized the values of Preza, and some of the offered solutions for the problems, that the working group thought that those were very important. This booklet is now in the hands of the working groups members.

In the end of March, the coordinators of the working groups and some members from APA had a training with the topic of “Leadership”, organized from EDEN Center. This training was very effective both for APA and the coordinators, because this training will be very helpful for them on how to be very good leaders of their own groups, and how to carry out this process successfully.

Working groups had the opportunity to train for two days training with two very interesting topics and very worthy for their work in progress. These training will help them a lot because the process for this term is in the second phase and they will deal with implementation of pilot projects which have been listed in the list of activities on the Green Agenda Document. These topics will help them and even the youth group that already is attached into the process.
Trainers were from the group of trainers of Eden Center.
Two topics were ‘ Project Monitoring and Assessment ‘ and ‘Project Management’.
Dynamics of work asked to substitute the coordinator of the group of ‘Forest and Biodiversity’, now the coordinator is a girl , she is Pranvera Kurti, which was officially substituted in March.
