The demonstration project on the construction of the fence at the”Lidhja e Prizrenit” school, co-financed by the municipality of Prizren and MuSPP/UN-HABITAT, was inaugurated on 11 of June 2008.

The inauguration ceremony was followed by sport activities and an exhibition that gathered many pupils and citizens of Prizren.

The aim of this project was to enhance safety and encourage sports activities among pupils. That is why, the implementation process of the project provided for the broad range of activities which were aimed at engaging different stakeholder’s right from the start of the project. One of such activities was a round table debate on safe school environment and safety in general which brought together pupils, parents and teachers. The idea behind this project was to increase the safety of schoolchildren, during out-door activities in the school playground and its immediate surrounding, but also to find an acceptable formula for making the area open to broader public after school activities.   

The expected outcome of this project is not only the physical reconstruction of the fence and creating a safer school environment but also greater sense of ownership of the project by all stakeholders who participated in the discussions and implementation of the project.
