Launching at the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic, TUMO Tirana has brightened the minds of over 1,000 teens in animation, filmmaking, game development, graphic design, music, 3D modelling, programing and robotics.

Granoff, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the AADF, Mr. Martin Mata & Mr. Aleksandër Sarapuli, Co-CEOs of AADF, the U.S Ambassador in Albania, Ms. Yuri Kim and Mayor of the Municipality of Tirana, Mr. Erion Veliaj.

TUMO offers a new kind of learning experience at the intersection of design and technology and is educating the teens of today to acquire the 21st century skills for the jobs of the future.
