TIRANA, Feb. 7 – Auditions for Tirana Art Fest, the artistic tradition that invites 15 to 19 years old youths from all Tirana high-schools to perform in the disciplines of music, dance, theatre and multimedia, began this week for the third consecutive year.
The first round of auditions will last until Feb. 18 and welcome teenagers from all over Tirana’s high schools, including suburbs and both private and public schools.
The aim of this activity is to bring back the joy of youth’s artistic and cultural lifestyle by inviting as many high schools to join as possible and by introducing novelties in each of the competing disciplines.
Most importantly, however, this program hopes to use art and culture as a way to minimize school bullying, alcohol and drug abuse, violence towards weak members of society, and other negative trends in high schools.
Each discipline is monitored by an artistic director, part of Albania’s artistic scene and promoters of culture as a way to improve youth.
