Petrit Matoshi
Fellow 2020

My name is Petrit. I am 25 years old and come from Kamenica.
 
I finished primary and secondary school in my hometown. I studied in the field of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology at the University of Prishtina "Hasan Prishtina." I continued my master’s studies in the field of Cultural Heritage and Tourism Management at the University of Prizren "Ukshin Hoti".
 
Since 2016 I have been engaged in archaeological campaigns such as: excavations, conservation, and restoration in Kamenica Castle, which were organized by the Archaeological Institute of Kosovo. I am an active part of civil society in Kamenica, as a collaborator of several local NGOs, part of the Forum for Cultural Heritage in the Municipality of Kamenica, participant in several actions for waste disposal in different areas in our municipality, and organizer of several sports activities.
 
In March of this year I was introduced to Teach for Kosova and without thinking for a long time was convinced that this is what I want to do. I want to be a teacher and follow in the footsteps of my father and sister. The news of my admission to this organization, in addition to making me very happy, also filled me with great responsibility. Now, I can't wait for the school year to begin.
