Courtyard of the Gentiles: spotlight Tirana


From the 14th to the 15th of November the ‘Courtyard of the Gentiles’ project sponsored by the Pontifical Council for Culture , presided by Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, travelled to Albania’s capital Tirana to discuss what non believers believe in.

On the 14th the ‘Courtyard ‘ was first of all located in Tirana’s Cathedral Square where three marquees had been set up to debate three different issues: work , spirituality and media .
And on the 15th it moved to the student halls of two different Albanian Universities .

Klaudia Bumci of our Albanian Programme travelled to Tirana with this ‘Courtyard ‘ , reporting on the events as she witnessed them first hand .

When she returned to Rome Veronica Scarisbrick asked Klaudia to give us her impressions of these events . But began by asking her to share her memories of what it was like growing up in Tirana under a tough atheist regime.
