The first lecture took place on December 2 at Aleksander Xhuvani University in Elbasan, where BIRN Albania’s Programme Manager, Bylyre Serjanaj, presented key findings from BIRN’s monitoring of digital rights violations in 2025. The lecture was attended by 38 students from the Departments of Journalism and Information Technology.

The second lecture was held on December 12 at the European University of Tirana, where experts Megi Reci and Daniel Prroni introduced law students to BIRN’s work on monitoring and reporting digital rights violations. The event was attended by 33 students.

The lectures were part of BIRN’s three-year project, ‘Reporting Digital Rights and Freedoms’, funded by the European Union and implemented by BIRN Kosovo together with its regional partners: BIRN Hub, BIRN Albania, BIRN Bosnia and Herzegovina, BIRN Macedonia, BIRN Montenegro, and BIRN Serbia, across the Western Balkans region and Turkey.

The project aims to strengthen the capacity of media and civil society to document and report violations of digital rights and freedoms.
