Between June and October 2026, the National Trust of Georgia focused its efforts on bridging classroom learning with living heritage for children and youth. Highlights of this reporting period include an experiential heritage quest in Samshvilde, where children explored archaeological ruins and collaborated to read medieval Asomtavruli inscriptions on the Samshvilde Sioni church. In July, young participants engaged in interactive sessions linking native Georgian wheat varieties to local place names (toponymy) and traditional baking customs, concluding with a communal bread-tasting with youth from the Amer-Imeri folklore studio.
As we launch the 2026–2027 academic year, both Tuta Workshop and Folklore House have resumed their weekly creative modules, folk music masterclasses, and heritage art courses in Old Tbilisi. Looking ahead, we are expanding our youth-focused initiatives into rural regions, preparing targeted cultural and dialogue projects for children in multi-ethnic communities like Dagheti in Shida Kartli. Through the continued generosity of our donor community, we remain committed to making heritage education engaging, accessible, and inclusive for the next generation.
