- Parents require a maximum from children. For example, my older sister is a successful student. Mom requires the same from me, I can not, but she does not want to hear.

- Parents do not want us to make mistakes, it often irritates us and conflicts arise.

These are the young people's opinions. They sharpened the attention on obligations of children. They believe that it is necessary to improve communication with parents, to learn how to manage relationships in order to avoid conflicts.

Workshops were held in Tskaltubo, Poti, Senaki. During the work, role-playing games, individual exercises were used - as a result, participants actively joined the process.

Conflict of generations: parents, children and their relationship - these issues were discussed at the workshops by the young people in Khoni, Poti, Tskaltubo.

According to them, the conflicts between the generations is the eternal theme, and it causes different opinions.

Young people noted that parents should be especially careful to act in the transitional age. They should bear in mind that all children are unique, and the methods that have been used, for example, with the elder child, can not be effective in dealing with junior.

It was stressed that children must improve communication with the older generation. They must realize that parents  are the closest people to them, and they should not have protest to the obstacles made by them.

The project is implemented with the support of the organization Brot

Workshop with the youth started with the analysis of private conflicts and psychological test, which gave the participants possibility to define their psychological type.

After this task there was imitation of family scenes. Participants "mastered" in the role of aggressive husband and obedient wife, considered contributing factors and reflected the dynamics of the conflict. Performances showed that the escalation of the conflict often depends on the nature of man.

How to manage conflicts, in order to avoid becoming a victim or rapist - on this subject there was held interactive work.

After fixing different opinions, there was general assessment: we must be able to analyze conflicts, manage emotions, act to neutralize the situation.

"My parents and I are believers, and always keep the post. For the new year we prepared post meals. After marriage, in the family of her husband I met radically different situation. They declared that New Year is a special holiday for them, and there should be a pig, turkey kebabs ... When I said modestly that it is not necessary to prepare so many things, in my address I heard insulting words. Now I realized that I had the wrong position. It is necessary to respect the values ​​of others ", - on the background of the analysis of real-life stories workshops were held with women's groups in Tskhaltubo, Senaki, Khoni.

Participants believe that conflict management is particularly important to consider the values ​​of others, not to become the cause of strife.

Who and how knows and how effectively uses technique of communication. What is the connection between communication and conflict – young people held discussions on these issues on the workshops in Poti, Koki (Zugdidi municipality) and Kutaisi.

During the work there were used imitated presentations. The participants showed how important is communication in domestic conflict management.

Different opinions were expressed:

-Communication is not only conversation. Its effectiveness is how correctly you present and receive information.

-Incorrectly received opinion often becomes reason of difference of opinions and promotes to development of conflict.

Participants think that the society should receive information about effective communication as it is good mechanism for prevention of domestic conflicts.

"Bullying is a painful issue." Majority do not even know what consequences are after the conflict among adolescents. The psyche is different for everyone. Sometimes it comes down to suicide. Therefore, teachers should pay more attention to this.

- Parents often themselves contribute to the development of bullying. For example, when they program their children, with whom to make friends. And this is a wrong approach.

Such were the positions of women participants of workshops in Poti, Senaki and Kutaisi.

During the discussion it was noted that bullying is directly related to family conflicts. Children who grow up in a crisis environment are often aggressive towards their peers, offend them and thus try to free themselves from negative emotions. Or, on the contrary, they have a sense of inferiority and themselves become victims of bullying.

During the workshop, women were advised how to identify cases of bullying, how to help a child if he becomes an object of bullying or a rapist.

In Tskaltubo, Khoni and Senaki with participation of the young people there were held workshops on conflict management. Participants got acquainted with the methods of analysis - "Bulb" and " conflict tree." We discussed how important it is to study, analyze the causes that contribute to the development of the conflict.

An interesting debate took place in the village Ivandidi (Khoni municipality). In the discussion of this format the young people participated for the first time and were particularly active.

Participants believe that the information obtained will help them in practice to apply these methods to manage conflicts.

At the workshops the young people reported initiatives to continue discussions on this topic in schools.
