Goals
Problem statement:
Youngsters conducted quantitative research in Nikozi to uncover problems in their community. They found that there is no library and gathering space for young people. At school there are only old, Soviet books and some of them are already damaged by insects. There is a library at Church area, which is quite small, and only members can read and only inside the building.
Furthermore, there is not any space where youngsters can gather and run their own activities. At school, there is no such space for independent projects. If someone wants to organize projects, they need to do it at Church or through a long negotiation with the local government.
Proposed Solution:
The idea includes repairing the room in Nikozi, which will be a library and gathering place for youngsters, where they will hold different activities, invite guests, make presentations about books, organize film-screenings. This will be the space, which will be free from religious and political influence and local people will discuss about different issues openly.
A campaign for books has already started. A space has been found, but it is in bad condition and needs to be repaired. It has been cleaned and it now needs to be colored, a new floor laid, three windows replaced. The movement "Green Fist" is also promised to provide one nice bookcase for the room.
Already, the youth have arranged a schedule of books to read and hope to invite local authors to join in the discussion once the building is finished.
Sustainability:
Representatives of National Library promised youngsters that as soon as the library is finished they will receive a computer and more books from them. They have already planned activities for film screenings and book discussions. They will invite producers of the film, some experts, representatives of the organization working in conflict field, and of course local people. They have meeting for planning it and to prepare a research before the event about the conflict issue among local people at their houses, what is not comfortable of course. They will also address environmental sustainability.
Equal gender opportunity:
During the project, girls and boys were actively involved equally, They will have equal responsibility for planning events and using the space.
