Students of Tbilisi public school №209, supported by a MT mini-grant project, organized an information campaign to increase students; awareness of early marriage. The initiative was prioritized as there were several cases of early marriage in their community.
Besides this, students conducted interviews and they found out that every third interviewed person was married at earlier than 18 years old. Students invited a psychologist to school, who spoke about the risks in early marriage cases, organized a thematic film shooting and discussions, and developed information flyers and disseminated them in the community.
At the final event of the project students, teachers and community members summed up the results of the project and agreed that the awareness around this issue in the community had increased.
