World Vision Germany - in co-operation with World Vision International in Georgia - has successfully applied for funding under the European Initiative for Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR - EU budget line B 7 - 70).

The main objective of the project "Inter Communal Centres for Youth (ICY) - Georgia" is to combat the increasing trend toward the ethnicisation of conflicts among Georgian citizens in Samtskhe-Javakheti and Kvemo Kartli. To elaborate, ethnicisation of conflicts connotes a characterisation of everyday social problems as ethnic differences. There is a need to reframe the regions' problems in non-ethnic terms in order to stop the marginalisation of minority sub-groups and the fragmentation of Georgian society. Instead of addressing the problem directly via politics or the media, ICY will attempt to re-socialize and re-educate the younger generation through largely apolitical means: education, sports and leisure activities. Through structured interaction, ICY's participants will be encouraged to engage in inter-ethnic dialogue and civic participation as common citizens of Georgia.
