Help us preserve Georgia's heritage & landscapes

The National Trust of Georgia (NTG) continues its work to preserve and promote both tangible and intangible cultural heritage across the country. In the current context, we have focused on developing self-sustainable initiatives and strengthening our direct engagement with youth.

Guided by our mission and vision, we believe that the active involvement of communities is essential for the preservation of cultural heritage. Therefore, our priority has been to raise awareness among children, the young generation, and the wider public, encouraging them to value, protect, and engage with their own shared heritage through creative, educational, and participatory formats.

Between October and December 2025, the NTG implemented several key projects that reflect this approach. These included:

• A puppet theatre performance dedicated to preserving cultural and natural heritage;
• “TuTa workshop” – Expanding Through New School Partnerships;
• The establishment of the “Rustaveli House” educational program at the NTG space;
• Walking tours in Tbilisi and the first Guests from the USA;
• International collaboration and knowledge exchange;
• Folklore House Tbilisi Branch – Children’s Classes Launched Alongside Adult Programs;
• And the concluding exhibition of a hybrid art residency hosted at the NTG space.

Together, these initiatives demonstrate how community engagement, education, and creative practice contribute to safeguarding cultural heritage while supporting the sustainability of the National Trust’s work.

Despite the challenging political situation in the country, the National Trust of Georgia (NTG)  has continued its efforts to protect and preserve Georgia's cultural heritage monuments while increasing public engagement in the field.

The National Trust of Georgia is developing tourist routes to promote and enhance awareness of the country’s cultural and natural heritage. A clear example of this is the one-week study visit organized in May for Greek colleagues across the country, as well as the cultural route carried out in August in Khevsureti together with international partners.

The National Trust of Georgia is also actively involved in the activities organized by the International National Trusts Organisation (INTO) and continues its professional cooperation with Europa Nostra. This collaboration was reflected in June, when the Co-Chair of the National Trust of Georgia participated in the Inclusive European Heritage Residency held in Hardwick Hall, United Kingdom

The Trust strives to make cultural heritage more accessible and engaging for the younger generation. For this purpose, the “Tuta Workshop” was established, where various cultural heritage-related classes are held twice a week for students.

The Trust also continues to support and encourage individuals across the country who voluntarily protect and care for both tangible and intangible cultural heritage. To this end, a new tool has been added to the Fund’s website, allowing users to locate and explore on an interactive map the people engaged in cultural heritage protection throughout Georgia.
