Between September 30th – October 4th a series of awareness raising seminars was held in Mtskheta. Seminars targeted several groups of the local community, such as the staff of municipality and local museum, owners of heritage sites, school teachers and school children. Seminars included two presentations, one about the importance of heritage and its preservation, the processes of conservation and the need for public awareness. The second topic concerned heritage values of Mtskheta and its current challenges. Discussion of the presented topics and others of concern followed the presentations and engaged the whole audience. School seminars were interactive and included learning activities for children. In partnership with another EU funded project “War Free World Heritage Listed Cities” the children were also introduced to the UNESCO Hague Convention and its provisions concerning enhanced protection status which Mtskheta will be applying for to receive. Students were given projects ideas to choose from and work on. Completed projects will be gathered and the authors of best works will be given prices. All participant school children will be given certificates and small gifts during a special ceremony next week which will be attended by the General Director of the National Agency for Cultural Heritage Protection of Georgia and the Secretary General of National Commission of UNESCO.
