The meeting was attended by the school children, students and teachers, who have discussed the topics of concern. The discussion evolved about the degree of women’s involvement in public life and the problems within the education system.The position has been agreed at the meeting that a woman’s role in public should be increased, which will facilitate the development of democratic processes. Problems should be identified and petitions should be elaborated, which will be discussed at a local level. It was decided to have the similar meeting in the future as well. Concrete problems will be examined at the initial stage, while the initiative groups will be set up later that will work on the pending problems.
