Democracy Development Center Hosted a Meeting in Gurjaani
Kakheti. The Gurjaani Municipality Sakrebulo has hosted
the meeting organized by the Democracy Development Center. Representatives of
the Center have informed the attendees and journalists about the working
principles of democracy schools and offered them to participate in the project.
According to the
organization’s Kakheti regional coordinator Nikoloz Sharvashidze, the
functioning of a democracy school is important as all interested persons learn
the principles of democracy there.
"All participants
of the democracy school learn many interesting and useful information here. The
students get familiar with the key principles of democracy and all theoretical
issues that are needed in everyday activities. The democracy schools and
centers operate in 4 cities of Georgia – Telavi, Kutaisi, Gori, and Tbilisi.
Today’s meeting
aimed at the very popularization of the Telavi School of Democracy and
inclusion of all persons from various municipalities”, says Nikoloz
Sharvashidze.
The Democracy
Center was established in 2000 with the funding of the Dutch political parties.
The South African President Nelson Mandela authored the idea, who at the time
actively fought racism. The Center functions in Georgia since 2005 and
cooperates with 7 political parties. Any citizen and politician can study in
the Democracy School.
