Family, harmonious relations between family members – online meetings on this topic, with members of the Youth Clubs of Lanchkhuti, Ozurgeti and the village Nayui96evi (Samtredia Municipality) were held.

Intergenerational communication, the family as the main value, family as a mini model of the state –– a frank conversation on these issues was held with young people. Their visions were recorded regarding the phenomenon of family, interesting stories from their own lives. According to young people, in order to achieve psychological and economic harmony in the family it is very important to share responsibilities.

In May the work with members of conflict management groups was continued again online. On the Facebook page of the Fund “Sukhumi”, the conflict expert uploaded another video lesson on the topic: “Possible results of conflict, styles of behavior in a conflict situation”.

The online meetings were held with pupils from School number 2 of the village Pakhulani (Tsalenjikha municipality), the village Dvabzu (Ozurgeti municipality) and the village Kulashi (Samtredia municipality). They listened to a video lesson, started to record videos on the topic of conflict and COVID-19, prepared essays and drawings, as well as participating in the interesting section “Letter to a Trusted Person”.

The first letters were published on the Facebook page of the Fund “Sukhumi”.

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.

In early May, three online meetings were held with youth clubs. This time, pupils from the schools of Lanchkhuti, Kutaisi, Nayui96evi (Samtredia municipality) joined the meetings. The meetings discussed important topics: the problem of violence among adolescents, the role of school and family, and protection mechanisms. The participants spoke openly about the reasons of violence, about the problems of communication between teenagers, parents and teachers, and gave examples. Emphasis was placed on the growth of cases in a pandemic situation, as well as on the ways of solution.
