In public school N1 of Tskaltubo, within the framework of the project "Empowering women to develop new approaches related to conflict transformation", activist girls conducted a workshop, where they efficiently used the knowledge and skills gained in the training organized by the fund “Sukhumi”..

Participants and the organizers of the workshop, positively evaluated the event: "It is very important what is happning here. It is young people who should be included in the conflict resolution. I am glad that my peers recognize only peaceful forms of conflict resolution. They want to establish contacts with young Abkhazians. "

"Bullying is a painful issue." Majority do not even know what consequences are after the conflict among adolescents. The psyche is different for everyone. Sometimes it comes down to suicide. Therefore, teachers should pay more attention to this.

- Parents often themselves contribute to the development of bullying. For example, when they program their children, with whom to make friends. And this is a wrong approach.

Such were the positions of women participants of workshops in Poti, Senaki and Kutaisi.

During the discussion it was noted that bullying is directly related to family conflicts. Children who grow up in a crisis environment are often aggressive towards their peers, offend them and thus try to free themselves from negative emotions. Or, on the contrary, they have a sense of inferiority and themselves become victims of bullying.

During the workshop, women were advised how to identify cases of bullying, how to help a child if he becomes an object of bullying or a rapist.

Two more workshops were held within the framework of the project "Expanding Women's Opportunities for Developing New Approaches Relating to the Transformation of the Conflict" On June 9, Nino Khubulava worked with students gathered at the Tsereteli University on the analysis and transformation of the conflict. There was a special interest in the Georgian-Abkhaz conflict. Participants recorded peace initiatives.

On June 27 workshop was held at school number 1 in Khoni. The topic was relevant for the participants. Facilitator Mari Chargeleishvili spoke about the causes of the conflict, historical facts, dynamics.

During the workshops young people actively joined in group work. The presentations, discussions, and the search for ways to resolve the conflict were interesting.

The project  is implemented with the support of  Federal Department of Foreign Affairs FDFA

Why are cases of violence among teenagers so frequent? What do we know about the formation and what is its relationship to the family conflict? Discussions on workshops with young people in Tskaltubo, Khoni and Koki (Zugdidi municipality) were held on this topic.

Participants were provided with statistics, which shows well how high is the bullying in schools.

During the conversation about the reasons, they tied the bullying with family conflicts:

"Children from conflict families often become victims of bullying, because they have an inferiority complex, they are difficult to adapt. According to young people, the way out is that parents and the school must work together, coordinated with children to avoid bullying.
