Description: The Initiative “the Police Station in the School” aimed at creating new partnership bridges between the Youth and the Albanian State Police. The project consisted creating special structures within the school which were called “School commissioners” who were students who undertook to denounce all acts of violence and threats that could threaten the safety of the school. Therefore they were trained and educated by experts of the field.
