Congratulations to Rinor Jani, who was selected as a 2023 Projects for Peace grantee!
Rinor Jani in Tirana, Albania, 2023
As a Projects for Peace fellow, Rinor focused his project on organizing the Balkan Forum on Nuclear Disarmament in the assembly hall of the Bunk Art 1’ Museum, a former cold war nuclear bunker that now serves as a museum in Tirana, Albania. The Forum, which was endorsed by the Mayor of Hiroshima and the Mayor of Nagasaki, sought to raise awareness and to shift regional political and civil discourse surrounding nuclear weapons within the Balkan Albanian context.
Since its founding in 2007, Projects for Peace has funded more than 2,000 projects around the world. Projects are nominated by partner colleges and universities and this year one hundred and twenty-six projects from ninety-two partner institutions were selected to receive Projects for Peace funding across more than 67 countries and 21 different U.S. states.
