On June 22-27, 2014 Tskaltubo resort hosted another civics leadership camp for ACETT’s 100 students and civics teachers from all regions of Georgia. In a camp, students learn more about civic activism and independent initiatives and work in groups to design the projects, which will meet the needs of their regions. Camps also offer many activities for fun and leisure; students become good friends, create groups in social network and continue to interact with each other once the camp is completed.
