MSc. Sara Fusha Osmani (Chief Operating Officer at Tempulli College) is a dynamic and results-oriented professional with extensive experience in marketing, project management, and public relations. Over the years, she has led various initiatives in education, innovation, and entrepreneurship – from founding the ARTOys brand, dedicated to educational wooden toys, to managing large-scale international projects at Tempulli College, where she currently serves as Chief Operating Officer.
This valuable lecture by Sara Fusha Osmani addressed the essential role that awareness campaigns play in promoting barrier-free public transport and fostering inclusive mobility for all. Through practical examples and strategic approaches, the presentation emphasized how targeted communication can influence public perception, mobilize community support, and drive policy changes toward more accessible and equitable transport systems. Participants gained a deeper understanding of how campaigns can serve as powerful tools to break down physical and social barriers, making mobility a right rather than a privilege.
Valerie Bojku-Bibaj, a PhD candidate from Tempulli Academy, presented the topic "The Role of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) in a City and Its Importance for Persons with Special Needs" as part of the Barrier-Free Public Transport (BFPT) 2025 Summer School. This event was held at WU Vienna University of Economics and Business and focused on the importance of inclusive and accessible solutions for urban mobility through innovative MaaS platforms.
