What does BREZI YNË mean?

BREZ or BREZI (English: sash) is a piece of clothing of the Albanian folk costume,  which is worn around the waist by both men and women. Another much more  important meaning of BREZI is "generation". So, BREZI YNË means  "our generation".

Who's on board

The BREZI board members, a group of dedicated volunteers, have taken on the mission of contributing to their community. Despite having full-time jobs and personal responsibilities, they spend their free-time on working on projects and organizing events. Their hard work and selflessness has made a significant impact on the Albanian community in Switzerland and beyond.
