Who we are
The International Women’s Club of Pristina (IWCPR) was founded in February 2004. Our purpose is: 1. to welcome expatriate women and offer help and encouragement to make living in Kosovo a rewarding experience; 2. to support cultural activities and to provide opportunities for improving appreciation of the life and culture of all countries, in particular, this area of the Balkans; 3. to foster a variety of interest groups to provide a network for women to share interests or gain new skills and knowledge. The language of communication is English, but our members speak a variety of languages.
Our core values are: Inclusion, helping members feel they belong, are respected and valued for who they are; Diversity, appreciating the unique differences of all members and their unique contributions to IWCPR’s purpose; mutual Support through our friendship and collaboration; Sharing our experiences, knowledge, skills with other members.
