The first stage of the project - "Promotion of legal education in the future generation for the security of the legal state and its institutional development" - is being conducted at Tbilisi State University and is led by the Scientific Society named after Tinatin Tsereteli.

The goal of the above-mentioned project financed within the grant program of the Ministry of Justice is to popularize legal education in educational institutions, strengthen legal culture, raise the level of legal awareness among schoolchildren and develop professional skills among the next generation of lawyers.

Initially, up to 30 students selected from law faculties of different universities will undergo a 5-day training in the field of human rights. Students with the best results identified on the basis of testing will hold informative and educational meetings with students of Tbilisi, Batumi, Lagodekhi and Gori schools.

During the meeting, the parties discussed opportunities to further strengthen cooperation between Georgia and UNIDROIT, as well as the significance of the organization's legal instruments.
