Prime Minister Edi Rama shared today in the social media a view of the atmosphere of the “Fun Fair” at Italy Square in Tirana, while writing that, “Children and adults became part of the fun activities”.

The 3-day fair turned into a new and special experience for children, where creative activities, games, innovation and entertainment were the “main features” of this three-day experience.

During the days of the fair, the children got acquainted with painting exhibitions and installations, creative and fun games and various artistic activities.
