Help us preserve Georgia's heritage & landscapes

Dear Friends and Donors,

Thank you for your continued support of the National Trust of Georgia.

During this reporting period, we expanded access to cultural heritage through regional puppet theatre performances, educational activities for children, international knowledge exchange, and ongoing efforts to protect endangered heritage sites. We reached children, families, and local communities through creative and participatory programs, strengthened educational and international partnerships, and continued developing new initiatives that connect heritage with learning and community engagement. We also explored new opportunities for heritage preservation and public participation.

We are grateful for your generosity, which makes this work possible and helps ensure that Georgia’s cultural heritage remains accessible, relevant, and meaningful for future generations.

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.
