During October and November 2009 the coordinators of the the working groups of Ethnocultural Values and Tourist Infrastructure had an opportunity to exchange their experiences on a study visit in Kroatia and on a VideoMaking in Macedonia.
Aldo Sheshaj- Tourist Infrastructure coordinator
Aldo was on November 2009 for a training in Macedonia. This training consisted on the preparation of the coaches on Videomaking. This training was something new and very successful said Aldo, it is a way on how to appeal on the Local Government for the problems of the commune. Also this video we can use as a promotional tool for the tourists or as a tool for raising up the visibility of the Green Agenda process.
He learned a lot of new things not only on how to use a videocamera or making a movie, but we learned from the other member’s experiences, that were in this regional training. He had an opportunity to share our experience of the Green Agenda process in Preza. I made a summary of the main things of the process.
Now the things are scheduled and on February we will make a short movie for Preza. What I learned is that we need more to be improved in our work. We have some strong and weak points. And a worthy method to improve our work is this videomaking for Preza Commune. This training was so worthy for me and very necessarily.
Suzana Halili- Ethnocultural values coordinator
Suzana was in Kroatia on a study visit on Merimudjee region. During this study visit we saw the process of the Green Agenda in this region. Every commune/ every participant that was invited on this study visit made a presentation and showed us the way how they operated during the Green Agenda process. During this experience exchanging time I had an opportunity to take and to give good ideas.
I saw that Albania was on a higher stage than the other countries concerning the GA process and the project lists.
The pilot projects that were applied there were financed by the community, commune and GA. Most of them were very visible and touchable, we can say about the tourist attractiveness, building water mills for energy production, etc. What most impacted me was that wherever we went they gave us promotional materials as CD, flyers, telephone numbers etc. Most of these ideas for pilot projects we can adapt in our commune. This experience was worthy to me. I learned that applying a pilot project needs cooperation and it cannot be done alone, this is also about the fund raising and donors.
