My name is Kolindo Vjerdha, and I’m from Shkoder, Albania. While I was in high school, I participated in many projects by YEA Albania, the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, Junior Achievement Albania, Malteser Albania, the Arka Youth Center (for issues relating to youth), as well as volunteering and business initiatives. Moreover, I won the first prize in a debate competition that was organized by Redebate. At the age of 15, I began dealing with issues concerning young people and did my best to highlight problems that concern us daily. I am currently continuing my Bachelor studies in Finance and Accounting at Luigj Gurakuqi University, Shkoder. Last year, I had also published a number of articles in newspapers and online media portals on issues that are related to youth, the economy, and Albania’s development.
