Alumni Networking Event in Tirana

Yesterday, Europe House in Tirana was filled with alumni from across the College of Europe campuses, diplomats, students, professionals, and partners, as we hosted our very first alumni networking event.

We were happy to welcome Ritva Heikkinen, Head of Cooperation at the EU Delegation to Albania and CoE Bruges alumna; Silvana Rusi, Deputy Chief Negotiator & Advisor at the Ministry of Public Administration and Anti-Corruption and CoE Natolin alumna; Alice Barberis, Head of Communication at the Italian Embassy in Tirana; and Stiven Komino, Communications and Partnerships Consultant at UNICEF Albania, for a conversation moderated by our PR Officer, Aziz Hreljić.

The discussion focused on careers in EU affairs, diplomacy, communications, and international organizations, with our speakers sharing personal experiences, insights, and practical advice with students and alumni.

It was great to see so many meaningful conversations, new connections, and exchanges between students, alumni, and guests. 

Thank you to everyone who joined us!
