Judicial reforms have been high on the new democratic reforms’ agenda of Armenia since the 2018 Revolution as the low level of trust in the judiciary was one of the reasons behind the Velvet Revolution. 

The goal of the project is to promote critical discussions among Armenian researchers, social scientists, social science students, as well as civil society representatives on the prevailing collective knowledge, power, nation, culture, gender, and sexuality.

The project contributes to the emerging debate on Yerevan’s urban development by focusing on the complex intertwining between its past, present and future, as well as highlighting critical aspects of current urban transformation. 

The project is trying to fill the gap related to trauma literacy and the trauma-informed approach that we observe with peacebuilding practitioners (practitioners) in Georgia and Armenia.

The Georgian Institute of Politics (GIP) will train young researchers to assess the changing geopolitical and security environment in the South Caucasus, including the role of regional actors, such as Turkey, Russia, and Iran.

The project aims at establishing an open platform for young artists from the regions and developing an art project focused on democratic development and political participation in smaller towns.

To address the issue of youth participation in areas inhabited by ethnic minorities, Creative Development Center will use the method of forum theatre, a tool to explore political strategies for social change.

The Social Justice Center advocates for the improvement of human rights, humanitarian and social conditions of people living in Abkhazia, South Ossetia and close to the ABLs.

Against the backdrop of shrinking spaces of free journalism, the project supports Netgazeti, a prominent media outlet that consistently covers political and societal developments in the South Caucasus, while maintaining high journalistic standards.

With our support, Ziari Press is working on a Georgian translation of Ronald Grigor Suny’s “The Making of the Georgian Nation”, which will contribute to a critical discussion on Georgian history, memory politics and nation building.
