The project is implemented with the support of the organization NED – National Endowment for Democracy, USA.

This time, the School of Young Leaders is seeking for women leaders in Poti.

A regular, fifth qualifying training was held in the Women's Support Centre of Poti.

Women's leadership, communication, essence of conflict - topics discussed during the training were very interested for the girls.

 - We understand that only four participants will be accepted to the School, but this does not prevent us to be friends in the future - said the girls in the end of the training.

According to the participants the training was useful for them and this one day was the beginning of the continuation of future activity, since young people in Poti are passive.

The project is implemented with the support of Kvinna till Kvinna, women’s Swedish Foundation.
