Seven online meetings (webinars) were held by the Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University and with the support of the Education Development and Employment Center, within the framework of the Curriculum Innovation for Social Inclusion (CISI) project.
The meetings aimed to raise awareness about inclusive education among the academic and administrative staff of the partner Georgian universities.
