A collaborative project involving the Ministry of Education, Science and Youth, the Communications Commission and UNICEF, brought a national media literacy framework with a complete guidebook and training modules. As a result, 1,600 teachers underwent training, enabling them to implement media literacy programs in 647 schools. The subject has been integrated in different forms, as an elective, a project-based learning component or through extracurricular clubs.
At the same time, digital skills development was prioritized through the JuniorTech program. The initiative, organized in partnership with the University of Business and Technology, Batumi State University and several private sector partners, offered practical training for young people in both digital literacy and entrepreneurship. So far, over 60 participants have benefited from the program.
The initiatives are part of a broader efforts to give young people in Georgia the necessary tools to navigate digital information environment and economy.
