ICCN, within the framework of its program on civil society development, organizes the discussion series: Liberal Values and Democratic Transformation. The goal of this activity is to promote liberal discourse in our society; to raise awareness about the spectrum of problems; to involve an increasing number of professionals in discussions; and, through these activities, to create an enabling envioronment for the dissemination of liberal values in Georgian society.
The topic of our first discussion was "Solidarity". We tried to gain a deeper insight into the concept of solidarity. During the discussion, the term was determined. The presenters were Nino Tsikhistavi, gender expert, and Emzar Jgerenaia, sociologist.
The key issues of the discussion were:
- What is Solidarity?
- Solidarity as a value
- Civil society and solidarity
- Solidarity - women, religion, social processes and democratization
Full version of the discussion will be published in Peace Times magazine, coming edition
