- I worked with an NGO. I like your format and I want my students to listen to you too.

- Informal education is necessary for young people. We are ready to cooperate in this direction.

These words were the beginning of cooperation of the Fund "Sukhumi" with the directors of the schools of Nigvziani (Lanchkhut Municipality), Gumbrini (Tskaltubo Municipality), Dvabzu (Ozurgeti Municipality). According the new strategy, the students will pass a five-month course on conflict management in selected schools. After the completion of the course, a group of leaders will be created in all schools, which will continue discussions with different groups on these topics.

From the very first meeting the interest of the pupils was obvious. They announces their initiatives, which will be envisaged and included in the future strategy.

In the Youth clubs of the Fund "Sukhumi" three more groups are selected for a five-month course - this time in Kutaisi, Poti and Teklati (Senaki municipality). Informational meetings were held with the pupils on the topic: "Gender violence, types, forms, reasons, mechanisms of protection for the prevention of violence".

Young people got acquainted with the specifics of the club, with topics on which they will work for 5 months. They actively joined the discussion of the first topic. We talked about traditions, early marriages, the attitude of the older generation to the problem of violence, ways of getting out and mechanisms for protection.

According to the participants of the meeting, the club discusses important and necessary topics, so they expressed a desire to become the club members.

In parallel with the beginning of the new academic year, a new six-month period of work with the boys began. The first meetings took place in the municipalities of Senaki, Zugdidi, Kutaisi and Khoni. One part of the meetings was informational, and concrete period of time was also devoted to the discussion of violence. The boys recognize that the issue is problematic. They have their own opinions, which are openly recorded. The first month was better than it was foreseen. The new group joined motivated teenagers, and working with them will undoubtedly have good results.

- How closely are connected violence and conflicts, how to manage conflicts - these issues were discussed during the meetings with youth groups in Senaki, Kutaisi and Poti.

According new strategy on conflict management the work with these groups will take place within five months. The participants got acquainted with the analysis of the conflict and its methods. They remembered stories from their lives, and then the analysis was done in the group.

- Analysis shows what is the main problem in the conflict situation, what caused the conflict, and what are the results. With the help of analysis you can see your own mistakes in order not to make steps that will lead to conflict in future, the was the evaluation of the participants.
