DiLanEdu-WB – Digital Transformation in Language Study and Education of the Western Balkans was presented on May 30, 2025, at the First International Scientific Conference on Greek Education and Culture in Albania, held under the theme: “Historical Approach to Education in the Greek Ethnic Minority in Albania until 1990”.
This event was made possible through the collaboration between the Department of Greek Language, Literature and Civilization at “Eqrem Çabej” University of Gjirokastër and the Department of Philology at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. The conference is part of EÇUG’s ongoing efforts to strengthen academic and scientific cooperation with universities in Albania and abroad, with a focus on improving the quality of education and preparing new generations to meet the evolving demands of the regional and international labor market.
In this context, the presentation of the DiLanEdu-WB project marked an important step for affirming the role of “Eqrem Çabej” University as an active partner in joint international academic initiatives. Bringing together 15 universities and educational institutions from the Western Balkans and European countries, the project aims to support the professional development of foreign language teachers through new pedagogical approaches and contemporary digital tools. It stands as a tangible contribution to the modernization of language education and its alignment with current and future educational challenges.
The presentation of DilanEdu-WB in the conference attracted the attention of around 100 academics and researchers from various local and international universities, representatives of educational institutions and other interested stakeholders from the region and beyond. The participants were introduced, among others, to the main objective of the project, the expected outcomes and its potential impact to the language education in the region.
