The “For Good Environment” campaign concludes with the EU Ambassador’s visit to the Dardania primary school

To mark the conclusion of the “For Good Environment” campaign, Europe House Kosovo organised a final thematic school outreach event at the Dardania primary school in Pristina. 

The EU Ambassador in Kosovo, Aivo Orav, visited the school to see first-hand the impact of the €1.68 million renovation funded by the European Union in Kosovo. The school’s complete renovation includes a new façade, roof upgrades, new wooden and PVC doors, suspended ceiling works, new flooring, interior painting, and metalwork such as internal and external stair railings, emergency stairs, and ramp fences. Additional improvements involved installing a sound system and public address system, installation of heating substations and appliances, new water and sewage installations, refurbishing toilet fixtures, renovating the sports hall including air conditioning, installation of internal and outdoor lighting, adding a slope platform for access of persons with disabilities, and landscaping works.
