Europe-Georgia Institute

The EGI focuses its campaigning on issues, such as human rights, peacebuilding, promotion of good governance and supporting the involvement of youth in democratic process.[2] The Europe-Georgia Institute also analyzes Georgian and international politics, creates policy recommendations, and develops projects which contribute to a more open, democratic, and free society.[3] The Europe-Georgia Institute, under the patronage and financial support from President Giorgi Margvelashvili, initiated the unprecedented campaign "Your Voice, Our Future" (YVOF), aiming to increase the involvement of Youth in the election process and to show the importance of one single vote.The core idea of this project was the importance of a vote for future generations, focusing on the fact that in Georgia the Youth usually is less active in elections than any other age groups.The campaign which ran from 4-10 held a number events in different of cities and districts of the region, and featured information material in Armenian, Azerbaijani, Georgian, Russian and English.[12][13] The Europe-Georgia Institute and the Friedrich Naumann Foundation invited a group of European politicians, journalists and representatives of civic sector and academia to Georgia within the Europe in a suitcase project.The presenters were a representative of British Liberal Democrats, Imad Ahmed, an economist and a PhD researcher at University College London, who spoke about “The current political situation in the UK and the role of the Liberal Democrats in British politics” and former Ambassador of Georgia to the United Kingdom Ambassador Giorgi Badridze, who made a presentation about “Brexit: Implications for Britain and Europe”.[14] This meeting was the first attempt to create a tradition of Oliver Wardrop Discussions aiming to bring together British and Georgian politicians and young leaders and foster dialogue and cooperation between the countries and will be held annually.
