The online work of the forum theater is active and creative. Instead of halls and open-air scenes, now its new space is the Facebook page of the Fund “Sukhumi”!

Interesting activities are being carried out: archived materials of the forum theater and shadow theater are being updated, photo collages, videos, slogans, and literary presentations are being made. Actors of the forum theater and director Magdana Chikhladze read poems and monologues of women victims of violence. Sometimes young people try to amuse readers and with their humorous videos show how they have fun at home!

30 online activities in May - is a pretty big job. Forum-theater gained a lot of experience during quarantine - teenagers did everything on their own.

In May, the topic of online meetings with the boys was “Tolerance.” The Fund “Sukhumi” trainer contacted schools in the municipalities of Terjola, Zugdidi, Tsalenjikha, Kutaisi, Senaki, Poti, and Lanchkhuti. Online meetings were held both in groups and individually. The boys noted that this word is familiar for them, they often heard it know not so much about its meaning. Therefore, the first thing that was done during the meetings was an explanation of the essence of “tolerance”. There was a long discussion regarding whether it is possible to study and become tolerant, and how important it is to live in a tolerant society.

There was also an innovation in the work - the trainer asked several teachers to share their experience. According to the teachers, they use different methods while working with students: videos, cartoons, presentations. Gradually, they also take positive steps in terms of online learning.

The fourth meeting of the Forum of Civil Society Organizations was held through the online platform Zoom with participation of the representatives of 16 local organizations from 8 target municipalities.

Participants were given information about the results of the grant competition within the framework of the project and about the work, which should be done in direction of advocacy at the local level. The participants also got acquainted with the short preliminary analysis of the needs assessment of the local population project target municipalities, the results of PAR monitoring conducted in 4 municipalities of Imereti and heard the recommendations of the project's PR strategy.

During the discussion, the participants highlighted the interesting issues regarding how the local self-government websites can be maintained to increase citizens’ engagement and quality of interaction.
