 In Switzerland, the efforts to preserve and promote the Albanian language and culture are bearing fruit with the opening of two new Albanian schools: one in Birr (Aargau) and the other in Frauenfeld (Thurgau). These schools are a result of the dedication of Albanian teachers and activists, offering children the chance to learn their mother tongue while maintaining their national identity. Parents are encouraged to register their children for these valuable opportunities.

A New Light in Birr, Aargau Canton

In Birr, Aargau, the "Shkolla Shqipe" has opened a new class, where Albanian children, filled with enthusiasm and love for their language, have started their educational journey in learning Albanian. This achievement was made possible through the close cooperation between parents and community activists, with dedicated teacher Nuraj Iljasi and activists Riza Demaj and Prof. Dr. Vaxhid Sejdiu playing key roles.

The lessons take place every Friday from 3:00 PM to 5:50 PM, where students such as Ryve, Jara, Tara A, Tara V, Viviana, Denisa, Denisi, Erina, Leoni, Eldioni, and Florenti are learning Albanian language and culture with commitment and passion. This initiative marks an important step for the future of Albanian children, who, in addition to learning the language, are cultivating a sense of national identity.

Frauenfeld, Thurgau Canton: Another Success for the Albanian Language

In Thurgau Canton, another Albanian school has opened in Frauenfeld, further enriching the network of schools dedicated to teaching the mother tongue. This project came to life thanks to the tireless commitment of teacher Valbonë Alili and activists Nexhat Hyseni and Prof. Dr. Vaxhid Sejdiu.

Students like Eliza, Rea, Adriana, Domenika, Sophie, Jonart, Ejmen, Lena, Cloe, Rafaelo, Riccardo, and Filipo are now part of this important journey, demonstrating dedication and a desire to learn Albanian. Parents have shown significant support, seeing this initiative as a valuable opportunity to preserve the cultural identity of their children.

With this important step, the Albanian school in Frauenfeld aims to expand its capacity by dividing the children into two groups, ensuring a more efficient and suitable learning experience for everyone.

A Major Step for the Future of Albanian Children in Switzerland

The opening of these two new educational centers in Birr and Frauenfeld is a testament to the ongoing commitment of the Albanian community to preserving our language and culture. With the support of parents, activists, and dedicated teachers, these schools are laying a strong foundation for the education and identity of young Albanian generations in the diaspora.

This journey calls on all Albanian parents in these cantons to register their children in the Albanian schools, giving them the opportunity to learn and preserve their language and culture. The success of these schools is a victory for the entire Albanian community in Switzerland and a testament to the importance of collaboration for a common goal: preserving our national identity.
