Three information meetings were held in a youth club of fund "Sukhumi". Kutaisi Club met at the private school "21st Century", the Club Khurcha / Koki - in a public school in the village Koki and Senaki Club - in a public school in the village Mendzhi.
Information meetings were devoted to the theme of tolerance. The Group was actively involved in the work. They talked about the problem of tolerance among young people, about national and sexual minorities, on religious matters. It was noted that the tolerant attitude to other reasons or a person reduces violence and is one of the tools for prevention. These meetings have precisely this goal that is well accepted by young people.
On the topic - Perception of tolerance among teenagers for violence prevention - youth clubs informational meetings were held in Khoni, Senaki and Poti.
Participants talked about this interesting topic. Some of them pointed out that tolerance is mainly only words, as they often express aggression, can not take into account the needs and concerns of people of another nationality or faith.
One of the participants said: I really liked the connection of this issue with the prevention of violence. Really actual topic, and it can be discussed for a long time.
Most of the youth think about tgoing abroad - for the purpose of studying, resting or working. Therefore, for the members of the Youth Clubs of the Fund "Sukhumi", the topic of information meetings - trafficking, as a form of violence, reasons and mechanisms of protection, was actual.
The meetings took place at schools No. 1 in Tskhaltubo, No. 7 in Poti and in the village Koki (Zugdidi Municipality).
Young people actively joined the discussion of the issue. Talked about visa-free regime, migration, its reasons, and the dangers of trafficking. A special emphasis was made on the protection mechanisms, preventive measures. As it turned out from the meetings, this issue is really important for young people.
