- What associations cause the conflict, what is its connection with violence and why its analysis is necessary - this topic was discussed at workshops, conducted with young people. In Kutaisi, Senaki, Tskaltubo, the participants tried to imitate the negative consequences of the conflict with simulated ideas. Then the analysis was continued by the "conflict tree" method. Most of the participants actively joined the interactive work, the discussion.
Young people believe that analysis provides an opportunity to see the main causes of conflict. It was noted that informing on these issues will reduce aggression and conflict situations in the society.

The project "Strengthening the women’s rights in Western Georgia", has a new component - work with the boys.
