Informational meetings of the Youth clubs were held in schools of the village  Gvankiti – Terjola Municipality, the village Nosiri - Senaki municipality and Kutaisi, school No. 33. Following topics were discussed: ethics, aesthetics, sex education, healthy lifestyle - as tools for violence prevention.

Participants of the meetings noted that schools pay little attention to these issues in schools, and the lack of information causes problems, including early marriages. Therefore, it is necessary to discuss such topics with both – children and parents. 

During the workshops, the groups studying conflict management, discussed the stages of conflict escalation. The workshops were held in schools No. 1 of the village Lia (Tsalenjikha Municipality), Gurianta (Ozurgeti Municipality) and Melauri (Samtredia Municipality). These issues were interesting for them, and this was confirmed by the recordings made during the feedback:

"These meetings teach me not to have conflicts with others."

“When discussing concrete examples, I saw that it is possible to resolve the conflict.”

"One word – “sorry” - can stop the conflict."

"I want to hold such a meeting by myself."

The workshops on conflict escalation stages for groups were held in Schools No. 11 - Kutaisi, villages Lesa (Lanchkhuti municipality) and Ganmukhuri (Zugdidi municipality). The students played small scenes and thus became more aware of the problem. During the feedback, they noted the importance of this training and expressed their emotions. 

Ordinary meetings started on November 1 and  were finished on November 24. The meetings were attended by the boys in Poti, Senaki, Terjola, Lanchkhuti, Zugdidi, Tsalenjikha, Ozurgeti, Samtredia, Kutaisi municipalities.

The meetings discussed the role of men in the family and society. The boys said that they have the function of a defender and a person, who supports the family, but they paid little attention to the roles of men in raising children and other family issues. That is why the emphasis was placed on these issues. In the end, it was mentioned that on November 25 the International Campaign “16 Active Days Against Violence towards the Women” starts and the activities for all groups were planned.

Informational meetings of Youth clubs were held in schools of Nigvziani (Lanchkhuti municipality) and Orsantia (Zugdidi municipality). The topic of tolerance aroused great interest among young people.

The young volunteer of the Fund “Sukhumi” from Germany, was actively involved in work in a school of the village Gvankiti (Terjola municipality). She really liked the position of young people, when during a role-playing game they announces a problem - a Muslim woman is getting married in Samegrelo region. The analysis of the participants and their conclusion was interesting: “You must not need to treat others the way you wouldn’t like to be treated”.

Informational meetings of Youth Clubs on the topic “The problem of tolerance among the youth” were held in schools of Poti, the villages Nosiri (Senaki Municipality) and Kutaisi.

Clubs differ from each other, but teenagers are united by a desire to solve a problem. They believe that today there is a lack of tolerance in society and explain the reasons in their own way. According to them, it is necessary to respect the identity of each person, to be tolerant. For this, non-formal education is not enough, and the involvement of schools and teachers is necessary.

On November 1, 4 and 7, the workshops with the groups were held on the issue of studying conflict management. The topic of the workshop was: “Conflict escalation stages”. The meetings were held in Poti author’s gymnasium, Senaki school No. 3 and in school of the village Zeda Simoneti (Terjola municipality). Through discussion of specific works and role-playing games, the pupils, came to the conclusion that sometimes even a minor reason can cause a big conflict.

Participants According to participants, the workshops are very important.

“The word escalation was new to me. I understood the meaning of this word and also really liked the activities.”

“I already know at what stage to stop.”

“I will definitely use the advice I got here in the future.”
