Our Exchange Programs:
Special attention should be paid to exchange programs, which will take youth representing various religious groups abroad – to the US or Europe, and bringing international youth to Georgia. Exchange programs will give young people the opportunity of living next to each other and be exposed to other cultures. This experience of multicultural communication will give them an understanding of real tolerance, open-mindedness and security; as well as the desire and will to put this unique experience in lifelong friendship with international peers.
This Exchange Program plays a crucial role in opening up closed religious communities in Georgia, and in
developing understanding of democracy among the youth representing various ethnicity in Georgia and beyond.
