The village of Nakhiduri has devastating ecology due to the human behavior and poor garbage collection practices. Garbage is all over the streets, farmlands, irrigation channels which affect environment and human health. Garbage is also in our school yard and there are no garbage bins. The school students have to litter plastic bags, papers etc and this further strengthens the practice of littering. The school yard and surrounding sites have been littered. Since school yard is the most frequented gathering space in our village, the scales of littering on this location is also big. Wind c...

Problem statement

Every parent takes his children for a walk in Marneuli. But it is not always possible for local community. Communication between children and parents helps them to develop relationship skills and be more active. It will support to build their connection and not to watch TV in their free time as well.
There is no place in the village where the children could play, so the only entertainment for the children in the village are stones and sticks.

Malaogli is one of the big village in Marneuli municipality. Our idea are regarding to clean up the village. In my opinion, environment pollution is the main problem of Malaoglu. This Problem is actual for all municipality, but for our village its urgent and need to solve frequently. There is not any bins in our community, that's why all garbage are thrown near the bank of the river or inside the river.

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.

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

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. There is no communication among the members of the ethnic groups living in different villages of the region. Due to this region, different groups living in the country fail to integrate.

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 project covers the furnishing of a physical art space to promote informal education at Azeri school. The goal of the project is for each student to have the opportunity to feel themselves as a full member of school community and as an individual.

Unfortunately, the majority of ethnic minority schools have a poor physical environment, which negatively affects the student's learning attitude. A pleasant, warm and safe environment for the children positively influences students and increases their motivation to spend time in the school for class and extracurricular activiti...

Problem statement

There are 31 public schools in Tsalka district: 19 Georgian, 10 Armenian, and 2 Azerbaijani. Every year, the Georgian graduation rate is much higher - 60 percent to 5 and 10 percent. One of the reasons for this gap is that the non-Georgian speakers cannot access university and other public services. Without Georgian, they also cannot access many good careers.

In addition, many young adults are actively involved in agriculture, making them miss school and training programs. They leave school early to farm or marry young. As adults, they are less informed about such important topic...

Problem statement

95% of Javakhetis population is Armenians. Integration processes in the region is very slow, although it goes productively. integration is slow because there are not enough cultural events for people to meet. Therefore, this cultural initiative will contribute to meeting getting to know of each other (Georgians and Armenians) through art.
This is important, because the show yourself and share your culture to others is like to build a bridge of friendship and understanding that it is necessary to national minorities and the majority of Georgia. Art is the best way to convey emotions,...

Young people, living in the villages of Tetritskaro Municipality lack the space, where they can gather together and engage with different non-formal education activities. They have access only to formal education and that’s why they are not actively involved in their communities and did n...

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

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.

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. ...

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.

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.

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.
