🇬🇪 Georgia – National Follow-Up Activities and Impact

The Georgian team carried forward the spirit of the CACAT-NFE-FORI project with great enthusiasm, ensuring that the knowledge and creativity gained in Greece reached new audiences back home. On 21 October 2025, they organized a dissemination session at the International School of Economics (ISET) in Tbilisi, engaging 20–30 university students in an interactive presentation about the Erasmus+ program, non-formal education, and the use of art as a tool for inclusion. Through videos, photos, and storytelling, they showcased the impact of the youth exchange, emphasizing how theatre, movement, and visual arts can bridge differences and promote empathy. The participants actively discussed future Erasmus+ opportunities, gaining inspiration to join similar initiatives.

Additionally, team member Nino Parunashvili conducted a separate community follow-up activity to raise awareness about Erasmus+ and the CACAT-NFE-FORI experience, using creative games and reflections to engage local youth.
The team's collective effort — led by Nia, Nino, Nika, Marta, Mariam, and Kato — reflected the project's essence: learning through creativity, celebrating cultural diversity, and inspiring a new generation to embrace inclusion through art. Their dissemination extended to social media, where they shared posts, videos, and reflections that captured the emotional and educational depth of their journey.

Follow Up Activity 

On 21 October 2025, the Georgian team organized a dissemination session at the International school of Economics(ISET), with students from there. The main objective of this event was to share the knowledge, experiences, and practical outcomes gained during the Erasmus+ Youth Exchange "CACAT-NFE-FORI", held in Kato Alissos, Greece, and to raise awareness about Erasmus+ opportunities among young people.

The session began with an introduction to the Erasmus+ program, its goals, and its role in supporting non-formal education, intercultural learning, and youth empowerment. We also presented both our sending and hosting organizations, explaining their missions, activities, and ongoing contribution to youth development and international cooperation.

A significant part of the session focused on the project's main theme — "Inclusion Through Art." We presented the methodologies and creative tools we explored during the exchange, such as the use of theatre, movement, and visual arts as instruments for inclusion and diversity. Participants were shown a short video created during the project, as well as photos and artistic outcomes that illustrated our learning process and intercultural collaboration.

We also shared insights about the cultural evening activities, emphasizing how art and creativity can unite people from different backgrounds and promote empathy, tolerance, and social inclusion.

Approximately 20–30 university students attended the event. They actively engaged in discussions about Erasmus+ and expressed great interest in future opportunities for participation in youth exchanges and other international mobility programs.

This dissemination session not only helped us multiply the project's impact at the local level but also encouraged young people to become more active, creative, and inclusive members of their communities — continuing the spirit and values of our Erasmus+ experience in Greece

Nino Parunashvili held a separate follow up:

My follow-up activity was dedicated to raising awareness about CACAT-FORI and Erasmus+ in my community. During the meeting, I presented how I spent my time during the project and explained how beneficial and enjoyable it was. We played some games that we had learned back in Greece and answered frequently asked questions about Youth Exchange programs. I believe the meeting was productive, and I'm confident that more people from my community will become engaged in a more active civic lifestyle
