“Don’t behave toward the other in a way; you don’t want to be behaved…”

Envisaging this phrase, the Fund “Sukhumi” conducted a work-shop for teachers and students of Kutaisi, public school No 11. The meeting was tensed. The teachers tried to prove that the problem of tolerance does not exist in our society, because we are hospitable nation and the conflict on religious and ethnic basis is rare.

The students tried to “ruin” their opinions, they had some examples and it appeared that the school does nothing to ensure tolerant atmosphere for them.

The trainers discussed facts of violence – this made obvious existing of the problem, but the teachers blame educational system, they say that in the process of teaching they are not able to speak about tolerance and underlined the activities of NGOs through this direction.

The students liked work-shop very much and asked us to conduct them permanently.  

On 11, 13 and 21 of March in the WSC of Tskaltubo, Khoni and Poti, consultations of the psychologist was conducted. 36 women participants worked on the tests on revealing self-assessment, which was relevant to the topics: “low self-assessment, inferiority complex as one of the reasons that causes conflicts.” And “low self-assessment and Jealousy syndrome-in the context of domestic conflicts”.

Both-the theme and tests were interesting and actual for the women. Most of them analyzed unsuitable results of their tests and also the risks, which may be caused as a result of women’s low self-assessment. Many questions were raised. The woman got advises from the side of psychologist. After using these advises, most of them will avoid the conflicts and problems in private and family relations.  

The project is implemented with the support of the organization Brot
