Five youth clubs received a small grant from the Women Fund “Sukhumi”. Trainings on current topics were held in five municipalities.
In the project proposal, members of Terjola youth club wrote: "In the modern world, the interdependence of parents and children often faces challenges. To understand this problem and improve relationships, we developed the project "Harmony in the family - mutual understanding between generations." The training was full of active discussions, bright emotions and plans for the future...
Tskaltubo Youth Club dedicated training to the topic: "The Impact of Relationships between Children and Parents on Personal Development." Participants symbolically expressed their attitude to parents-children relationships on the "Tree of Emotions." There was active involvement, a role-playing game "Change the Perspective" and a discussion. One of the parents noted: "This was an impressive training. We communicated and listened to each other. Such meetings should be held more often!" The training "Tolerance among Youth" at Tsalenjikha Youth Club discussed the importance of tolerance, equality, acceptance of differences and respect to each other.
A psychologist of the Women Fund “Sukhumi” held meetings at the Women Support Centers in Senaki, Khobi, Tskaltubo, Vani and Terjola. During the meetings, she spoke about the harm of violence regarding children.
- Most children from families with violent atmosphere, show aggressive behavior. From an early age, a child has aggressive reactions, which persists for a long period of time. The outside world is hostile to the child, the sense of danger is heightened, and his reaction is likely to be aggressive. Therefore, parents should protect children from an aggressive environment from an early age, - notes psychologist Eka Kvachakidze.
Women consider the psychologist's advice useful, and meetings with her are very important for them.

Some meetings of women's mutual assistance groups were held in municipalities, and some of them were held online.
In Tsalenjikha, the story of one of the women who suffered violence was voiced. It is planned to discuss a new case and provide assistance. New participants were added to the group in Terjola. During a meeting in Tskaltubo, women discussed their needs. Their desire is to organize cutting, sewing and polymer clay courses. This will contribute to their economic empowerment.
The involvement of a psychologist gives the meetings a special effect, since each participant needs competent advice.
The group members are confident that together, with mutual assistance, they will solve many problems.

They talked about the importance of economic support programs. They believe that women do not have the necessary skills to turn an idea into a project and have their own income.
