This two-years project has been developed in collaboration with the Academy of Physical Education and Sport “Vojo Kushi” in Tirana, Albania. Its main objective is a revision of the organisation of the Academy and its curriculum and teaching methodologies, aimed at meeting the standards of homologous institutions in the EU and the Bologna Process, bringing the Faculty closer to its European counterparts and increasing the background of graduates and their chances to meet social needs and job-market requirements.
Through the collaboration of European partners, and in line with the national strategy of the Albanian government, which signed the Bologna Declaration in Berlin 2003 and is now asking its university system to implement it, the Academy will be reformed and upgraded, becoming more functional in its administration, with better services to students and Faculty, and more apt to deal with the challenges and needs stemming from the country’s emerging transformations. Junior faculty and graduate students will be trained in European postgraduate programs, and research structures and programs will be started. Study programs will be redesigned and updated, in the light of scientific advances in the area and based on an assessment of social and public health needs, market requirements and trends.
