The workshops of the conflictologist of the Fund "Sukhumi" with young people in Khoni, Poti, Koki (Zugdidi municipality) were actively held. Inclusion at first was high. According to young people, a high rate of aggression among adolescents indicates that they do not know how to behave in conflict situations, who to contact. They never did an analysis of what happened. The teachers also presented at the meetings. They believe that non-formal education will positively influence adolescents, help them get rid of negative emotions and will give skills in conflict management. The students have a desire to continue discussions on the issues discussed.

The project "Strengthening the women’s rights in Western Georgia", has a new component - work with the boys. The aim of this work is to raise the level of knowledge of boys in the issues of violence against women. It is necessary that adolescents realize the main thing: the men are not hereditary aggressive and they have a special role and responsibility.

The first meeting in frames of the project was held in Tskaltubo - with students of the 7th-10th grades.
