Adjara. On July 14, the "Civic Development Center" met with the representatives of the civil society organizations in the Batumi Civic Engagement Center and informed them about the details of the project "Citizen Journalists for the Free and Fair Elections". The project encompasses 11 cities of Georgia, whose residents - active citizens and professional journalists - will try to obtain and disseminate information on the ongoing developments in Georgia prior to the elections, during the polling day and throughout the subsequent days.

The project aims at covering the elections in a coordinated manner. Within the project framework, 110 articles will be written and published, and 3 detailed stories and 2 short films will be prepared. 5 training modules will be developed and trainings will be delivered to 22 professional journalists participating in the project.

The project is funded by the UN Democracy Fund.
