For all the children who are in the capital in August, the Municipality of Tirana, in cooperation with the French Embassy, has decided to offer, in addition to summer camps, a "digital summer camp", such as the "Micro-Folie" space at The pyramid. In this space, children, according to different age groups, can be dedicated to diverse digital and creative activities, but also to other educational programs. The head of the Municipality of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, described the project as a fantastic opportunity for the young people of the capital, for socialism among them, but mainly in training for the jobs of the future.
"The invitation to all parents is to make sure that the children's focus for games or lessons is on these types of industries, which will be the jobs of the future. Therefore, I tell them to register their children at the Tumo Center, so that we can make sure that the young people of Tirana receive the most exemplary training for the jobs of the future, but even if you have a day off and you don't know where to bring your children, bring them to 'Micro-Foil'; located within the Tumo Center and managed by the Agency for Creativity and Digital Industry, as a fantastic way to have a good time, to learn new things, to be in a safe environment, but also to catch up with friends new friends, friendships that last a lifetime", emphasized Veliaj.
Thanking the French embassy, as well as other actors who gave their support in the realization of this digital school, Mayor Veliaj announced that the Municipal Council has just voted the "Ecole-42" project, a school focused on young people aged from 18 to 22 years old. According to him, attending digital schools should be the focus of young people.
"We want the pyramid to be alive not only with life, art, culture and digital schools, but also with these projects, which follow the children. If 'Micro-Folie' is for ages 6-12, Tumo Center for ages 12-18, 'Ecole 42' for ages 18-22, and so on, in every segment of life, we make sure that The municipality of Tirana should be present in promoting future work, and from the 22 children we have in the piloting of 'Micro-Folie', let's go to 200 thousand children, taking the attention not only of the children of Tirana city, but especially of children who come from families living in the suburbs", concluded Veliaj.
The "Micro-Folie" project has as its main activity its Digital Museum, collecting several thousand works of art from many institutions and museums. This digital art gallery is an original cultural experience that encourages curiosity. The Digital Museum is particularly suited for educational and cultural artistic programs. Also, next to "Micro-Folie Tirana", children have a space dedicated to creativity, where they can make crafts and many other educational programs for children.
