Teachers living in the three regions of Georgia, including Samtskhe-Javakheti and Kvemo Kartli, have come together to develop community initiatives that they will implement in their municipalities this year.
With the support of the US Embassy in Tbilisi, CENN hosted a civic education camp for teachers. The camp concluded the series of activities carried out under the “Teachers’ Civic Engagement Program”. At the end of the event, Christopher Anderson, Cultural Attache of the US Embassy, awarded the successful alumni with certificates.
During the four-day camp, teachers attended workshops focused on proposal writing, sustainable development, environmental initiatives, and the integration of modern technologies in school education. The camp served as a platform for teachers from Tsalenjikha, Marneuli, Dmanisi, Aspindze, and Akhalkalaki to collaborate and create community initiatives addressing various issues such as environmental pollution, informal education, and integration.
Representatives of the US Embassy in Georgia, international donor organizations and the Center of Environmental Information and Education attended the closing ceremony of the camp.
With knowledge gained from the camp, the teachers are now committed to spending the next three months implementing their projects and contributing to the development of their communities.
The Teachers’ Civic Engagement Program is organized as part of the “Edulinks – Creating Linkages through Education” project, implemented by CENN and supported financially by the US Embassy.
