Young people are ready to continue discussions

  

Lanchkhuti, Terjola, Kutaisi - these cities ended in February a series of workshops with young people. At all meetings, participants tried to involove in the discussion. Particularly noteworthy is Terjola group, which during the conflict analysis differed with logical, reasoned discussion.

"We are considering conflicts on civilian lessons, so we will certainly continue discussions on this issue," this was the position of the youth in Lanchkhuti, the village Chibati.

- I have been in conflict situations many times, because I do not know how to behave at this time. I often repeat mistakes, because I do not analyze the conflict, - such opinions were recorded at workshops, held in Kutaisi.

Young people are ready to continue discussions, believing that informing is very important during the prevention of violence.
