Problem statement

The problem of being stranger among each other, because of different etnic groups, religion or just because of unknowing language, is making difficult for the kids to have relationship with each other. Planned activities will help them to turn into friends, as far as there are themes which can make us to be united, as ecology, clean forest, as far as we all need nature to be healthy, no mater from what kind of society are we, we all need air, and together to care for our surrounding. Another thing is that it's important to upgrade perception of young generation and after this project...

Me and my friends decided to make a tourist camp in our village. This will be the first camping in the gorge. Tourist potential in Pankisi mountains is quite high, and from the summer of 2018 it will increase, because the construction of Pankisi-Tusheti connecting road is being launched, and it will pass exactly on our camping site.
There is a beautiful nature in Pankisi and we would like to develop tourism. Unfortunately Georgian youth isn’t very interested in our gorge. The main idea of camping is to enable the local youth to actively get involved in tourism, to follow the trend...

Tetritskaro is home to a variety of ethnic groups. One of the worst problems in today's Tetritskaro is the lack of youth gatherings. The local self-government handed over our youth team a building for 2 years, free of charge. We plan to turn this space into a youth center where any youth member despite their ethnic origin and religion can come and develop themselves. The existence of this space for young people is very important, we have already started fixing the building and gradually building it up with our forces.
Before we were given this space, we had to negotiate with th...

The majority of population are Avarielis, the minority are Georgians. Avaielis are Muslims, Georgians are Christians. Children from our village are less likely to participate in various programs, competitions, summer schools and so on. Also, our village is rarely visited by other villag...

Despite living together for hundreds of years, ethnic Azerbaijanis are struggling to integrate with ethnic Georgian communities. Stereotypes, prejudices, that exist between these communities, prevents their successful integration, for them to better get to know each other, to be closer and become friends. Georgia is a homeland for us because we were born here, we grew up and we are going to work here. It is sad that often ethnic Georgians see us belonging to Azerbaijan, not to Georgia. Traditional, religious, and ethnic differences make it impossible for people of different origin to l...

In Georgia, NGOs are talking more and more about the necessity of creating civil society and important steps are being taken in this direction. Different measures are aimed at promoting civic consciousness in society, but the problem still exists. The society is divided into "my people" and "others", and in most cases, the majority of them find it difficult to reach equality in relationships with people who differ from them. People with different ethnic origins, religion, and capabilities are unfortunately not perfectly integrated into the society, they carry a label ...

While they are second biggest minority in the country, 74% of ethnic Azerbaijanis do not speak the state language. The language barrier is one the reasons their integration has been slow.

Opportunities for informal education are also scarce, especially in rural areas.

This house aims to teach peaceful co-existence, respect of others, and create a friendly environment between different groups. In turn, this will reduce the number of conflict situations and tension.

There are very few print or digital journals dedicated to Caucasus music. Even those who do are infrequent or brief.

Many religious and ethnic minorities live in Georgia. Marneuli is the region where ethnic Azerbaijanis are densely populated.

A second problem is that youth living in the far-away villages of the region do not have a chance to see their cultural heritage and visit landmarks which give them a sense of shared identity.

Problem statement

The village Khikhani is located 35 kilometers from the center of in the Marneuli. Villagers are the eco-migrants from high mountains of Adjara region. The village is bordered on one side with Azerbaijan and on the other side with Armenian compact villages. There are friendly ties between these villages, although most the villagers do not speak Georgian. Also, in none of the villages young people have a place where they could gather for cultural events, which would help them to bond and become friends by learning the Georgian language and sharing each other's culture.
As I mentio...

Problem statement

I’m a kindergarten teacher in Rustavi for children of a variety of nationalities. The districts of Rustavi are very rich with different national minorities. It's very important for our society to interact with them and help integrate with Georgian native citizens.

It’s important from childhood to develop the love of the country where they live. We support the children in friendship with different national minorities and show them ways to communicate through events such as puppet theaters, parties, games and activities. We will train the children in tolerance and the ways of ...

Problem statement

Karajala, population 4,891, is the second largest village in Georgia. Many people there are Azeri, which creates a communication divide in the village.

My goal for the next generation of these villagers is to increase their knowledge of Georgian culture, literature, language and history so that the Azeri youth can better integrate. I want this closed circle to be opened, if not for our generation, maybe for our children's generation so that they can have a full-fledged relation with their peers.

There are Georgian teachers in Karajala school, but this is not enough...

Problem statement

The resettled Meskhetians have lived in a borough Nasakirali of Ozurgeti Municipality since the 1980s as a religious and linguistic minority. They are Muslims and speak Meskhetian language, which is the Anatolian dialect of Turkish language.

Although Meskhetian youth are involved in the learning process and know the state language, they hardly have any touch with the state language outside the academic process. They live separately (4 kilometers away), which hinders integration.

Along with alienation, they struggle with unemployment, often going to Turkey in the summer. ...

Problem statement

Projects against hate speech are held regularly in different countries of Europe on a large-scale. Our goal is to carry out this project locally, particularly in the direction of gender balance, racism and LGBT society.

Since Georgia is still a developing country, our eyes are still unused to seeing beyond the norms of traditions and religious dogmas. Gender and ethnicity still causes confusion in the society and is perceived as foreign idea.

People usually follow traditional culture and ethic norms. Our idea allows talk about discrimination, which unites gender as well...

Problem statement

Mainly ethnic Kists live in Pankisi Gorge. The gorge is geographically isolated, surrounded by mountains from three sides. The youth are cut off from the cultural, educational or other important movements in Georgia.

In the villages, there is a lack of free space for communication, discussions, and the advancement of knowledge. Moreover, modern literature isn’t available to the youth. There is not a single book store or modern library.

Books are important for a person’s future development. Our organization intends to make books and modern literature more available to t...

Problem statement

The Kistis reside in 12 villages in Pankisi Gorge. The population has traditions and customs which have a great influence on the lifestyle there. Sport culture is a popular tradition, but currently it is difficult for girls to play due to negatively reactions.

In table tennis, I was the first racket among women in Kakheti region. Several years ago I purchased a tennis table and I teach this sport to the girls in Pankisi. The tennis table is located in my yard and the girls felt comfortable and they had no restrictions from family.

Unfortunately, the tennis table is c...

Problem statement

Despite of fact that we live in 21st century, there are many teenagers in Georgia who lack information about their rights or responsibilities in their families, school or society. Those are smart children, who have potential to do something meaningful rather than just following teachers’ instructions. They are capable of thinking and coming up with great ideas, but they need little push. If students are provided with information and got assistance to develop certain skills they will start taking actions.

Problem statement

In the village Qvemo, the level of literacy is very low. Children do not have any literature for extracurricular reading at home. They grow up in an environment isolated from books.

Their knowledge is limited to school literature, therefore reading is a boring duty rather than a pleasant process. Besides, due to the poor school budget, the school has no resources to provide the use of visual methods or entertaining rebus-tests required for the pupils’ educational process, so the learning process is monotonous and limited to the materials given in the books.

Problem statement

As we all know, it's extremely hard for the Georgian LGBT+ community to work, live and survive due to prejudice and aggressive discrimination.

I want to give the opportunity to the people (queer and heterosexual - both together) to discuss issues of gender and sexuality make improvisations of the discrimination forms in public spaces and brainstorm solutions.

Problem statement

We are two young women committed to promoting and preserving Islamic culture in Georgia, a project begun after visiting the monuments in Samtskhe-Javakheti two years ago. We document these mosques and monuments with photos, study the architecture, and collect stories.

We want to cover the entire region and make a systematized database of mosques. We think this is important because these structures are often forgotten or neglected. We want to give this database to the government for protection.

This will have several impacts. We will help people see Islamic culture as ...
