All for Batumi’s Children
Start date: Nov 3, 2014, End date: Oct 2, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project “All for Batumi’s Children” ABC aimed to increase exchanges between young people in Europe and organisations from other cultural backgrounds and was based on a shared commitment towards a common goal: the construction of a more equal society. Moreover, it aimed to raise awareness in the field of human rights, through direct experience of the life of poor people (in particular children) and conducting data collection, researching and analyzing the Georgian situation all within their broader social, political and cultural context. The project involved two volunteers, who spent trhee months at the Wellcome Centre for children in Batumi, in Georgia. They have had pre-departure training in their own countries, and learnt about Georgian context, politics, history and society. Moreover they learnt about human rights and peace education, according to the European principles. The volunteers took care of the children hosted in the family home and they had carried on educative and recreational activities to support children of the territory in situation of poverty. The volunteers had reflected on this direct experience in the mean time of their action, writing report about the project on the web site of the organisation and articles for the local media of their home town, in order of increase knowledge and take of responsibility about the situation in Georgia. This activities has strengthened the intercultural exchange and awareness both in the local communities and at a European level. As a way of learning by doing, the project has offered to each individual the chance to critically reflect on their behaviour, attitudes and role models, their rights and the rights of others, their own selves and the world around them.
