The first exhibition of its kind was organised at the Palace of Congress. The Exhibition titled The Education for Sustainable Development was honoured by the then Prime Minister of Albania and R.H Lord Watson and R.H Lord Hunt. In his speech to the participants the Prime Minister announced the introduction of the English language as a must for every graduate.
Since then, the ESU has successfully organised series of events named “Meet the Guest of Honour” as well as the annual national competition of the Public Speaking with the winner representing Albania in the finals in London.[/st_text][/st_column_3][/st_row_3][/st_column_2][/st_row_2][/st_column][/st_row][st_row gradient_color=”0% #FFFFFF,100% #000000″ gradient_direction=”vertical” img_repeat=”full” 1=”video_url_mp4″ autoplay=”yes” border_color=”#000″ child_of=”none” div_padding_top=”10″ div_padding_bottom=”10″ div_padding_right=”10″ div_padding_left=”10″ id_wrapper=”elm_5939da4601f1d” ][st_column span=”span8″ id_wrapper=”elm_5939da45f3923″ ][st_text el_title=” Official Launch ” wrapper_padding_top=”0″ wrapper_padding_left=”0″ wrapper_padding_bottom=”0″ wrapper_padding_right=”0″ id_wrapper=”elm_5939da45f2e1a” ]
