In May, the topic of online meetings with the boys was “Tolerance.” The Fund “Sukhumi” trainer contacted schools in the municipalities of Terjola, Zugdidi, Tsalenjikha, Kutaisi, Senaki, Poti, and Lanchkhuti. Online meetings were held both in groups and individually. The boys noted that this word is familiar for them, they often heard it know not so much about its meaning. Therefore, the first thing that was done during the meetings was an explanation of the essence of “tolerance”. There was a long discussion regarding whether it is possible to study and become tolerant, and how important it is to live in a tolerant society.

There was also an innovation in the work - the trainer asked several teachers to share their experience. According to the teachers, they use different methods while working with students: videos, cartoons, presentations. Gradually, they also take positive steps in terms of online learning.
