SCI Exchange Platform Meeting 2019

In Albania

This year, SCI Exchange Platform Meeting took place in Albania, hosted by our local branch PVN Albania.

For a week, representatives of SCI and partner organisations from all over the world discussed the evaluation and future plans regarding the volunteer exchanges and foster partnerships to improve future projects for peace.
