Dear students,
The Economics Department, Young Economists' Network (YEN), and the Yunus Center for Social Business and Sustainability (YCSBS) invite the staff and students of Epoka to play games for science on 5 June 2019 between 10:00 and 17:00 to play Monopoly games in the ground floor of the A building. To see how we can manipulate rulesets to influence changes in inequality. The earlier you start and the longer you play, the more you will be able to learn from the experimental game--and the more fun you can have as well!

A number of Monopoly game boards will be available for play; if you have a Monopoly game at home you can bring to play with friends, please do!

The Young Economists Club organized on May 28th 2019, a visit to the National Bank of Albania. With the assistance of Elsa Zhulali, the members of this club were able to take a tour inside the premises of the national bank. Everyone had the chance to learn about the history behind the many collections of monetary system coins that existed in the territories of Albania since the 5th century. An interesting aspect that captured the students’ attention was seeing from up close the Treasury Room. This room, built in 1938 in the form of 6 angles, was made of steel and concrete, completely armored. It was so heavy that only 2 people might have the power to move it. In case of danger, at the back of it was a spare door equipped with a ladder, which the students enjoyed the most. Walking through the corridors and many rooms, our guide introduced them with many informative games, which helped the visitors to learn more about money. As the board of YEN left their signatures in a special memorial notebook, the visit ended with pictures and a lot of laughs.

On 17th of January 2019, Young Economists’ Network Club organized an open forum where Miss Juliana NELA, the co-owner of REMAX, was invited and delighted to discuss with the students about the wide subject of real estate.
Firstly, she opened the forum with a lovely quote from Albert Einstein. She continued to talk about how motivation is one of the key components of being successful, while illustrating it with the award system that her company “REMAX” has applied. She came into conclusion that money is not the best motivator. As a person who has done her master in business and managing, she enlightened us with some very wise words. “There will come a day in your life when you will have to give your contribution for your country. It is one of the most beautiful feelings in the world.” She explained that real estate is an important sector of the economy and that by working with young and inspired people, she felt that real estate will move forward. Despite having a lot of issues, like lack of information, of communication and of professional knowledge upon this topic, she believes that out there are many young professionals who require good training and education. Moreover, she concluded the forum with an interesting question. “When a chief of a restaurant asked me why should people come in agencies to find their houses, instead of looking on their own, I said “Why should I come to the restaurant and eat if I have food at home?”
In the end of this conference, students were interested and asked questions relating her profession. Miss Juliana took great pleasure in answering them all and sharing her opinion on them.
