Are you a Germinal?

Germin is of Latin origin meaning ‘to grow, to prosper’. The term has been used in many settings throughout its rich background of historical and linguistic contexts, continuously underlining the importance that change has had in the advancement of societies. Making use of the latter, our organization aims to establish a solid foundation on which Albanians will eventually build the right walls on, for the betterment of their homelands.
