Tirana, 22 September 2025 – This October, the capital of Albania will host one of the most important events for organizations advocating for the right to education at the global level. On 14–15 October 2025, the Albanian Coalition for Education (ACE), facilitated by CRCA-ECPAT Albania, will host the Annual Meeting of the members of the Europe and North America Campaign for Education network (ENACE).
This will be the first time that ENACE holds its annual meeting in an Eastern European country, following last year’s edition in Dublin, Ireland. The two-day meeting will bring together all ENACE member organizations and networks from Europe and North America, both in person and online, to share experiences, strengthen cooperation, and agree on a joint work plan for the year ahead.
“We are particularly delighted that ACE is hosting this meeting in Tirana, providing an important space to advance our shared mission: inclusive, quality, and equitable education for all. Through the exchange of practices, discussions, and collaboration, we believe the meeting will strengthen ENACE’s common identity, with a particular focus on advocacy, capacity building, and solidarity.” – said Altin Hazizaj, on behalf of ACE/CRCA Albania.
The Network for Education in Europe and North America (ENACE) is composed of 15 civil society coalitions and networks advocating for the right to education across both continents, and is part of the Global Campaign for Education (GCE). ENACE’s mission is to strengthen the collective voice of civil society in defending and advancing the right to inclusive, quality, and equitable education for all. Through cooperation, knowledge-sharing, and capacity building, the network engages in regional and global advocacy, promotes solidarity among its members, and influences public policies on education.
