On 13 April 2022 in Lezha, The Embassy of Sweden in collaboration with the Swedish Institute and the Lezha Youth Center “Hand to Hand Against Nation Apathy” (H.A.N.A) opened the exhibition Re:waste – how Sweden is rethinking resources.

The opening ceremony was attended by a lot of youngsters from Lezha, local businesses, environment agencies, Lezha municipality and government institutions. We are very pleased and honored for the participation of the Minister of Environment, Mirela Kumbaro and the Mayor of Lezha Municipality, Pjerin Ndreu. The opening ceremony was addressed by Ambassador Elsa Håstad, Minister of environment Mirela Kumbaro and the mayor of Lezha, Pjerin Ndreu.

We thank you H.A.N.A Youth Center for the hard work on the preparation and good arrangement for the exhibition at their youth center in Lezha.

Together we can all make a change for the environment and our common future!

Message from Ambassador: “Reuse and Recycle, like my grandmothers old dress.” She was dressed in her grandmother old dress.

After the opening of the exhibition, Minister Kumbaro wrote on her Facebook:
“In Lezha with Pjerin Ndreu and dear friend Ambassador Elsa Håstad in Albania who together with the team of the Embassy of Sweden organizes such pleasant events for children and adults because we need to reflect on the relationship with nature and to think carefully every time we throw something in the bin, because it can be reused and recycled. Exhibition Re: Waste will be open until 2️3 April at the H.A.N.A youth center and it is worth visiting especially by children to get acquainted with the "Swedish way" of daily waste treatment.  Only by being educated from now on, they will not repeat our mistakes towards the environment.”

The exhibition after been displayed for 10 days at H.A.N.A Youth Center, will travel to several schools in Lezha.
