The training program was tailored to engage educators and vocational instructors in interactive learning.
What We Covered
An online session was held on 15 January 2026 with teachers from the “Antoni Athanas” School in Saranda. During the session, participants were introduced to the core concepts of the REPper project, including:
- principles of the circular economy
- the importance of repair culture
- the Right to Repair and the European legal framework
- professional obligations of young workers entering the labor market
Teachers actively participated in an open discussion, sharing experiences and reflections on how these concepts can be integrated into the teaching process and used to educate younger generations about sustainability and responsible consumption.
Two additional sessions took place on 22 January 2026 with instructors from the Public Vocational Training Center (QFPP) in Vlora. These sessions explored the same themes while providing deeper insights into:
- the impact of the European Repair Directive
- the role of repair practices in technical professions
- the importance of preparing young professionals for a more sustainable labour market
Vocational instructors contributed valuable practical perspectives on how repair-related concepts can be integrated into vocational training programmes and applied in technical professions.
What We Achieved
The sessions concluded with a summary of the key points discussed and an outline of the next steps for the REPper project. These pilot trainings represent an important step toward raising awareness and strengthening professional skills related to repair culture and the circular economy.
AULEDA remains committed to promoting sustainable practices and empowering local actors through continuous education and capacity-building initiatives.
