"Dear students, 

It is an honor and pleasure to be here with you today and to see so many positive faces. 

We are here to celebrate students’ successful completion of Internship Course organized by Faculty of Sports and PLAY International. This course is a part of EJO project aiming to provide an active and inclusive education.   

For the Faculty, students, and PLAY, this is a great opportunity to contribute to quality education in Kosovo and to challenge stereotypes and prejudice with an ultimate goal of better inclusion of all children no matter of their background.   

After successfully finishing the accredited course by Ministry of Education and Science, we hope that you will use all these skills, knowledge, and enthusiasm that you gained during the course in your future careers. And of course, we hope that you will continue being PLAYers in our upcoming projects. 

One more time big thank you to all students for your motivation, commitment, and hard work. Last but not least, thank you Mr. Selimi, Miftari and Berisha. This cooperation would not be possible without your effort and willingness and we sincerely hope to continue empowering more students together."
