“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.
