Students of Kaspi Gymnasium decided to explore the history of their town. During the project implementation, they collected information about the history of Kaspi and its inhabitants.
They found out that during the Soviet times 170 persons from Kaspi were “repressed. Students studied the cases of these individuals, met with their descendants, and collected their letters and photos.
They also surveyed local communities, asking local population what they know about “repressed people of Kaspi, visited Museum of Occupation and an archive in Tbilisi, organized a training at school for peers on human rights issues, made a presentation of a thematic film and staged a performance. As a result of the above activities, students organized a small corner at the school, where all relevant materials were displayed.
This caused great interest among community members. The mini-grant project with participation of students was supported by USAID-funded Momavlis Taoba Project, which is implemented by PH International.
