Civics club students of village Choluri public school of Lentekhi municipality, launched a promotion campaign to protect historical monuments, situated in the village and are dated between VI-X centuries.
During the project implementation, students cooperated with school administration, local authorities and business sector. In order to increase number of visitors it was necessary to improve the infrastructure of the roads, leading to the historical monuments. With financial support of “Avtogza Lentekhi 99”, students arranged information banners and road signs indicating directions, length of the way and small history about the monument itself. Local authorities responded to the students’ letter to improve lighting of the historical monuments and surrounded territories. Students organized cleaning actions of the territory and then held a workshop -“Historical Monuments of Svaneti”.
Students will be also preparing the video with detailed information about historical monuments of the village. The video will be disseminated through the social media to reach those people who wants to visit Svaneti and see old historical monuments.
“From new academic year we will advocate the process of improving the infrastructure of the road leading to the monuments and also we want to rehabilitate old hall-style house and open theethnographic museum. All this will increase the number of tourists in our community” - said Bakur Mukbaniani, Choluri public school civics club leader student.
The initiative is supported by the mini-grant in the framework of USAID-funded Momavlis Taoba Program, implemented by PH International.
