“It’s important for us to have a space where we can talk about all topics that don’t fit into the lesson format. We get to know each other’s thoughts and can share our knowledge with others. It helps to prevent conflict and violence”. - These are the words of one of the training participants.
Training courses actively continue at the Youth Empowerment Centers. Trainings on the reasons of conflicts, gender equality and stereotypes were held in Khobi and Tsalenjikha municipalities.
During the trainings, actual topics are discussed and initiated events are organized. Young people have a high interest in non-formal education and motivation to work.

The training course is actively continuing at the Youth Empowerment Centers. Young people get acquainted with new topics with interest, get used to individual or group work, and a culture of discussion.
The December trainings coincided with the information campaign “16 active days against gender-based violence”. Therefore, it was decided that all ten centers should be included in the campaign (Samtredia, Terjola, Vani, Bagdati, Senaki, Zugdidi, Tsalenjikha, Khobi, Kobuleti, Chokhatauri).
Young people started preparation in November and carried out all planned initiated activities on time: creative events, interviews, exhibitions, actions... They themselves were the authors and performers of all events. Teachers and representatives of the school administration were included in the organization as much as possible.
The young people of the Youth Empowerment Centers gained a lot of experience by actively participating in the campaign of this year.
