Third meeting in the scope of the initiative was held on April 22. The topic of the training was the relationship of the state and religion. Two trainers/lecturers facilitated the training: Rusudan Aptsiauri - Political scientist, representative of CIPDD and Iva Lomidze, sociologist, lecturer at Ilia State University. The facilitators explained the concept of the state and idea of secularization to the members of the group. Sadly, due to the power outrage, coffee and tea was not served during the break :) After the third meeting a facebook group was created for members of the initiative for sharing information, discussions, etc.
On April 2nd, second meeting was held in the scope of the initiative. The main goal of the second training was presenting the idea of "Individual" and "Society" to participants of the group. The trainers - Natia Chankvetadze and Salome Khvadagiani - introduced the concepts of societal roles and responsibilities vs individual rights through various role plays and group works Integration level among participants from both villages was visibly higher that the previous meeting. The attendance of the training also grew and new members several new members joined the group from both villages.
On March 19th, first training for youth from Georgian and Avarian communities was held in Public school of Gavazi, Kvareli municipality. First training was dedicated to the topic of "Intercultural dialogue", carried out by representatives of Cooperation for Peace and Progress, Salome Khvadagiani and Natia Chankvetadze. The main aim of the first meeting was to introduce participants to each other, overcome awkwardness in interaction and acquire some basic skills for team work and presentation. It should be noted, that at the beginning of the training, representatives of Tivi community (three boys and tree girls) were noticeably shy and tried to stay in their group and avoid and participation. However, at the end of the day, they became visibly less uncomfortable or uneasy. Still, it is obvious, that representatives of Georgian community behave more like hosts of the event.
