Five months in youth groups

In August, the fifth training of the cycle of conflict management and violence prevention was held online.

Up to 200 young people from ten target municipalities of Western Georgia, members of youth empowerment centers, took part in the trainings. Participants of the trainings talked about the changes – how they felt before the training and how they feel now.

They noted that they have become more free, self-confident, sociable, tolerant, active. They have learned to see, identify and advocate concrete problems.

Their intellectual resources are already high in terms of resolving conflicts and contributing to the prevention of violence.

Conflict prevention is the main goal of conflict resolution and involves the strengthening of local youth peacekeeping resources. The five-month training course has revealed new faces, new leaders who will make presentations at the final meetings in September and talk about the changes and results achieved within the framework of the Women Fund “Sukhumi” project.

The project is implemented with the support of the organization Brot
