Воркшопы на тему коммуникации активно прошли с молоджежными группами в Поти, Сенаки и Цхалтубо. Участники обсудили вербальные и невербальные стороны коммуникации.

Как было отмечено, коммуникация напрямую связана с конфликтами. Во время передачи информации должны быть учтены нюансы невербальной  коммуникации, в иных случаях возможно обострение конфликта. Участники воркшопов считают, что полученные информации и практические упражнения помогут им в эффективном управлении конфликтами.

Many live stories women remembered in the workshops on conflict. It turned out that they have accumulated examples of successful and unsuccessful negotiations. There were also those who have experience in this area:

- I have repeatedly intervened in the conflict between neighbors. Experience has taught me a lot. I learn till today. Not everyone is able to be a facilitator, can. If a person is impulsive, it is better not to interfere. So it is possible to strain the situation even more.

The meeting participants were informed about the meaning of facilitation, mediation, when and how to be involved in order to resolve the conflict.

According to the women received information will give them more courage to be involved in family conflicts in order to avoid violence.

Workshops were held in Kutaisi, Khoni and Khurcha (Zugdidi Municipality).

The workshops in Kutaisi, Senaki, Khurcha (Zugdidi Municipality), was attended by women from 30 to 60.

- How our parents brought us, why we make the same mistakes in the relationship with our children, why there are conflicts of generations - interesting discussions were held on these topics.

- We often heared from parents that our generation does not understand anything, behaves badly. When we became parents, we have already begun to repeat this phrase.

- The reason of family conflicts is wrong education. We must not bring up boys as "rulers" of the family, and the girls do not have to constantly put up with everything.

- I always thought that my mother was very strict. We often argued with her on issues such as go to a girlfriend's birthday or not, a walk with friends. In a relationship with children, I repeated the same thing. Unfortunately, I later realized that my mother was always right. Probably my children will also understand it.

At the end of the discussion the participants listened to a psychologist and received appropriate advices.

On September 20, at the hotel "Prometheus", the group of fund "Sukhumi" took part in a workshop on lessons learned from partners, which was held by PIN - an international organization in frames of the project "Involvement of NGOs working on issues of social protection, in the strategic dialogue in Georgia."

With the help of an invited expert meeting participants familiarized themselves with the experience of the Czech Republic in social advocacy, and shared with each what issues are advocated at local and central levels, what challenges do they face and how they see the issue of viability of the advisor’s council in the future.

Representatives of partner organizations again stressed the importance of the Lessons Learned and expressed their desire to hold such meetings for other members of advisors.

The project is implemented with the support of the Czech organization PIN 

- When the equality is violated in the family and takes the form of discrimination - young people held discussions on this issue on the workshops in Poti, Kutaisi and Senaki.

Participants believe that most of the family conflicts are related to the incorrect distribution of functions:

-If in the family the decision takes only one and the other members of the family live at his desire, this is violence.

Unfortunately, most women misunderstand the essence of equality. In their opinion, what happens in their families is common. Therefore, it is difficult for them to realize themselves in society.

According to young people, more work is needed with society to correctly assess what equality in the family is, and to analyze the negative results that lead to gender-based violence.
