School of Politics

School of Politics is one of the first non-formal political education programs in Kosovo and the oldest program that is still active. Since 2003, the School of Politics is implemented by the Prishtina Institute for Political Studies with the support and under the umbrella of the Council of Europe.

The School of Politics of Pristina was established with the aim of empowering political, economic, social and cultural leaders, to help the transition process of Kosovar society by supporting the creation of a modern society, democratic political culture, through providing a space for dialogue and exchange between current and future leaders, coming from a variety of fields. In a broader perspective, the work of the School of Politics is related to addressing the democratic deficit, the rule of law and the issue of human rights. The participants of the School are selected from a wide range of groups, actors and organizations such as political parties, public administration, civil society, media, minority groups, business and academia. The educational focus of the School can be described with the idea of strengthening democratic principles and practices. The School's modules include topics such as: the functioning of the democratic order with participation, representation and inclusiveness, good governance, human rights, security policies, foreign policy and international relations, development policies such as energy and the green agenda, as well as parties politics and the role of the media.

Each academic year, the school accepts a group of up to 30 participants who are selected based on their professional skills, taking into consideration other relevant political, social, ethnic, gender, and geographical factors. A significant number of former participants of the School of Politics hold key positions in political and social life in Kosovo.

Takimi i dytë i Platformës për Dialogun Ndërpartiak në Kosovë

31 July 2025

Instituti i Prishtinës për Studime Politike – PIPS, me mbështetjen e Demo Finland, organizoi dje takimin e dytë të Forumit për Dialog Ndërpartiak. Në këtë takim morën pjesë përfaqësues të partive politike (të forumeve rinore, asambleistë të kuvendeve komunale) të cilët patën rastin të diskutojnë me ekspertin z. Kreshnik Gashi (Kryeredaktor dhe Redaktor Menaxhues i KALLXO.com).

Tema kryesore e diskutimit ishte “Dezinformimi dhe gjuha e urrejtjes”, faktorë që paraqesin sfida serioze për dialogun politik dhe stabilitetin shoqëror në Kosovë. Z. Gashi ndau me pjesëmarrësit mekanizmat e luftimit të dezinformimit, ndërsa pjesëmarrësit ndanë përvoja konkrete dhe shembuj të realitetit aktual, duke theksuar rëndësinë e luftimit të dezinformimit dhe promovimit të një komunikimi të përgjegjshëm dhe pa gjuhë nxitëse.

rrjeti dhe asociacioni

Prishtina School of Politics is part of the multilateral forums of the Council of Europe's School of Politics Network and the Association of School of Politics.

Schools Network was created by the Council of Europe in 2005 in order to provide a framework for the exchange of information, expertise and practices between the Schools. The network also provides a milieu in which regional and bilateral activities between two or more schools take place. Today Schools of Politics operate in Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, the South Caucasus. Such a wide reach has necessarily increased the need for cooperation, therefore the network offers such opportunity. To find out more about the School Network download the following documen here.

Association of School of Political Studies of the Council of Europe was founded in 2008 by the Directors of Schools of Politics, with the aim of strengthening links, stimulating development and supporting the schools. Equipped with a legal framework, Schools now have a tool that allows the Network to communicate with its own voice.

The Association plays an important role in supporting School Alumni. The Association's website has become a major hub for communication and information for its members, and provides a platform for dialogue and exchange between school graduates and current participants.
