"Women for the Future of Georgia" and the Union for the Protection of Children's Rights and Civic Education "Children - the Future of Georgia" - representatives of these two organizations from Terjola participated in the online meeting.

The conversation touched the registration of new organizations. Two options were presented - a women's organization and a youth organization. Questionnaires were sent to them - after their consideration, new civil society organizations will be registered.

When discussing the topic of violence, adolescents draw parallels with stereotypes and traditions that represent women as subordinates. That is why these questions were discussed at the meetings of the Youth Clubs: “Forms of violence. Equal society. Traditions and Stereotypes”.

After each meeting, the motivation of groups and the desire to actively participate in the process of preventing violence grows more and more.

The meetings were held online with the Youth Clubs of the schools No. 5 in Kobuleti, No. 12 in Kutaisi and the village Pakhulani (Tsalenjikha municipality).

“I first learned about escalation”, “You explained this topic to us in an interesting and understandable way”, “When will the next meeting be held?” - This is the feedback from the students.

The conflict escalation was discussed at online workshops with the conflict management groups from school No. 5 in Kobuleti, school No. 2 of the village Lia (Tsalenjikha municipality) and the village Gurianta (Ozurgeti municipality).

The pupils got acquainted with video lesson on the Facebook page of the Fund "Sukhumi" and expressed their opinions. With the help of the messenger, the conflict expert sent them small stories in which the escalation stages are clearly visible.

“From teachers I often hear the following phrase: “Girls should not behave like that”, but immediately, the pupil gave the answer: “The behavior has no gender”- these are the words of one school director, given in the publication.

The new publication of the Fund "Sukhumi" analyzes the results of the research, which covered 11 municipalities of Western Georgia (school directors and teachers, representatives of resource centers, NGOs, education and gender experts, parents, former students).
