The Civil Council on Defense and Security (CCDS), in partnership with the Max Planck Foundation, implemented a workshop on July 23, 2024, in Kutaisi, Georgia, as part of the project "Empowering Voices for Inclusive Peace and Security." Participants in this meeting included students and professors from Akaki Tsereteli State University, civil society, representatives and journalists, contributing to a diverse dialogue on these critical issues.

The workshop aimed to deepen the understanding of the concept of Feminist Foreign Policy (FFP) among Georgian facilitators through discussions and interactive sessions. It covered both conceptual and practical aspects of FFP, gender and diplomacy, conflict transformation, and included a Georgian case analysis through the lens of FFP. Interactive sessions were designed to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of these subjects, concluding with a wrap-up session to consolidate the learnings.

This initiative is embedded within the broader programme "Expanding Cooperation with Civil Society in Eastern Partnership Countries and Russia," generously funded by the German Federal Foreign Office.
