A New Manual on Legal Culture for Students has been developed by ACPI program. The manual gives practical information on legal responsibilities, rights and regulations in a simple language with visual aids and good design. All of these makes the book more attractive for students to read and get familiar with legal issues. The manual consists of two parts, where part 1 contains 4 topics: Children's Rights, Tolerance, Conflict Management, Bad habits and healthy lifestyle. Part 2 is coming soon. The 1st part of the manual is accessible online for public through this link: https://el.ge/articles/534295 .
