Who has founded?
Association "IRSH" was established by a group of students and professors in April 1994 and was approved by the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports in June 1994.
"IRSH" works for development of civil society in Albania as well as promoting peace and stability in the Balkans.
"IRSH" is an NGO (with about 200 members most of them are volunteers) where individuals, groups, NGO partners according to their profile are grouped into departments and each of them has a representative on the Board of the organization.
Why is it founded ?
During 1990-1994, Albania is involved in a number of democratic processes and at the same time changing the political system of governance. But ordinary people and especially intellectuals were not participating actively in developments that have involved our society. So with the purpose to promote the Albanian civil society was founded "IRSH" in 1994. It was an initiative of the students and professors of the University "Luigi Gurakuqi" Shkodra. In order to be more realistic, students decided to include in the name oforganization the word "HOPE" which has a general understanding for these students:
"HOPE" to be the best intellectuals
"HOPE" to change the Albanian reality
"HOPE" to promote civil society in Albania.
