On 16–18 September, a two-day workshop was held in Tbilisi for representatives of civil society organisations working on women’s empowerment. Among the participants were activists and community leaders from Kakheti, Kvemo Kartli, Guria, Samegrelo, and Imereti.
The aim of the workshop was to support civil society representatives, strengthen their psychological resilience, and facilitate experience sharing.
Psychologist’s session – The program began with a session led by psychologist and expressive arts therapist Natia Panjikidze, where participants discussed stress identification and coping with trauma. Women had the opportunity to engage in metaphorical and body-oriented exercises.
Motivational session – “What One Woman Can Do” – Author, screenwriter, and journalist Nene Kvinikadze shared motivational stories and experiences with the participants.
Journalism and AI session – The session on “Artificial Intelligence in Action” was conducted by a journalist and head of the Journalism Resource Center, Nina Kheladze.
