Staff Profile #21 - Erëza

It’s time for us to present Erëza, our great program coordinator who has been by our side for 2 months now.


In joining Play International Kosovo, Erëza has managed to combine two things that drive her deeply: her passion for sports and her desire to contribute to positive social changes.

Erëza works as a programme coordinator but also as a social media manager for our mission in Kosovo. This multi-faced job reflects this enterprising young woman who likes challenges and undertaking many projects.


When Erëza was asked why she choose to work with Play International in Kosovo, she answered:

“Play International's goals and mission echo one of my life goals which is to help people and especially children in vulnerable situations, such as children with disabilities. I feel concerned about their situation and I would like to help them in some way.”

“Working with Play is also a great opportunity because it is the only NGO that uses sports in its methodology. Moreover, Play International is unique in many ways because it has created its own pedagogy, its own sports games that are not found in other organizations, this is also why I feel lucky to work with and for this NGO.”

Let’s discover now a new side of Erëza through a very fun fact!

This curious young woman loves a sport which is far from sports game related to our NGO, which is called… Formula 1.

From an early age, Erëza has loved everything to do with cars and can spend entire weekends watching Formula 1 races.


We all love Erëza at PLAY! Help us show your appreciation of her work by liking this post!
