The
Youth network of Fund "Sukhumi" joined Days of Peace (October 24-29),
declared by the UN and OSCE, with the action of "Flowers”.
Leaders
of the Youth centers of Kutaisi, Senaki, Khurcha, Poti, Khoni and Tskhaltubo
gathered in the centre of Kutaisi and held a peaceful action on the White
Bridge. They chose flowers as a symbol of the action and attracted public’s
attention.
Passers-by,
people of different ages, showed their support in different ways: some took
pictures of the action participants, and some, as a sign of support, took
flowers and slogans: peace, harmony, no - war...
Participants
of the action went down to the bank of the river Rioni and dropped flowers into
the water...
- The purpose of the action was to join the
voices of peacemakers around the world. We give flowers, as a symbol of peace, to
the river, which flows into the Black Sea. In this way we want to bring our
peacekeeping signal to the world, - say the initiators of the action.
The project is implemented with the support of
