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.

Online meetings were held with the youth clubs of Terjola, Zugdidi and Kutaisi on an interesting topic - harmonious relations between family members for violence prevention.

Discussion of the topic caused the maximum involvement of participants. They noted how important the harmony in the family, the support from the parents is. Young people addressed the issue of traditions, the inclusion of parents in the choice of professions.

One of the club members noted that a conversation on such topics changed his attitude to the family, he was filled with love, and when you think about love, you become kinder.

On June 2, 3 and 5, online meetings were held with members of conflict management group in schools of the villages Anaklia (Zugdidi municipality), Teklati (Senaki municipality) and Kulashi (Samtredia municipality).

Pupils were familiarized with the topic of June: “Methods of Peaceful Resolution of the Conflict”. Later, this video lesson was posted on the Facebook page of the Fund “Sukhumi”.

After the meeting, the students began to prepare the tasks - video appeals, essays, paintings, as well as feedback - how the project work affected them.

The “Conversation with Mothers” was continued. The first meeting of June was held, and information on this was published on the Facebook page.

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.

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”.

April was unusual. Again, in a remote mode. The trainer contacted boys from schools in the municipalities of Terjola, Zugdidi, Tsalenjikha, Kutaisi, Senaki, Poti, Lanchkhuti. There were group and individual online conversations. When it is difficult to communicate via the Internet, phone calls are used.

The topic of the month is a man, as the best defender and partner. The guys actively participated in the discussion. According to them, the role of men is special during the crisis - as the best advocates and partners, they must do everything to ensure that their families are not stressed.

The trainer Beka Potskhveria recorded a video lecture for groups of participants. The guys responded actively: they made a video, wrote an essay - all this is posted on the Facebook page of the Fund “Sukhumi”, and thus hundreds of people received important information.

On April 13, 15 and 16, three more online meetings were held with members of conflict management groups - in public schools of the villages of Dzevri (Terjola municipality), Kulashi (Samtredia municipality) and Kutaisi school number 13.

The pupils watched the video lesson and then together with the trainer talked about conflict escalation, discussed the stages, got the task - to record video calls about the conflicts and COVID-19, to write an essay and draw ... The teenagers started to do their homework with great interest, and some already have sent their work.

Online meetings were held with youth clubs of the public schools in the villages Menji (Senaki municipality), Ganmukhuri (Zugdidi municipality) and Ozurgeti.

The topic of discussion was tolerance, which is quite relevant in a pandemic - and today there is a lack of understanding and love. The students prepared and posted three videos on the Facebook page of the Fund “Sukhumi” on the topic of the pandemic. This is the result of their initiative and active group work.
