Annual Report 2016

2016 was a successful year for IDMC, whose work has deepened in the process of dealing with the communist past and the dictatorship and raising awareness of the society and the young people of its consequences until the present. The partnership with the Association of History Teachers supported many teachers to undertake different extracurricular projects on memory in their local environment. Participation in the multimedia competition "Ask Your Grandparents 2016" was high and increased significantly the reputation of the Institute. The week-long event "Memory Days 2016" offered a new opportunity for actors working in the field of memory to present their work.

We see dealing with the communist regime as a task which should not be limited within the borders of Albania. Therefore, IDMC collaborates with many international institutions in Central and Eastern Europe and it is part of two important European platforms of memory having the chance to present its activities to a wider international audience.
