"Conflict within us" - the consideration of this topic caused a special discussion among the youth. In conflict situations, we are always looking for causes everywhere except ourselves. The reasons are conflicts within us - because we do not know how to control emotions, how to extinguish the fire inside of us.
This is agreed by the majority of participants. They received advice on how to get rid of negative emotions, how to manage personal conflicts.
- The more people can manage emotions, the less there will be conflicts in society, the family. Such meetings are very important, as they give an opportunity for reflection, - young people believe.
Workshops were held in Tskaltubo, Khoni and Koki (Zugdidi municipality).
