About the organization
The Centre for Cultural Relations – Caucasian House is one of the leading cultural-educational and peace-building NGOs that makes peacebuilding and the regional cooperation its priority. Caucasian House has been actively working for the last two decades on conflict transformation in the region through public diplomacy and cultural-educational programs.
Our organization is dedicated to preserve peaceful and constructive relations between the Georgian society, on the one hand, and the Abkhazian, the Ossetian, and the Russian on the other. Furthermore, Caucasian House plays an active role in the peacebuilding, reconciliation and the trust building not only between the Caucasian nationalities but it also contributes to the peaceful dialogue between representatives of the Russian and the Ukrainian civil societies.
The goal of the project
The International University on Conflict Transformation is a continuation of the processes discussed above. The goal of the project is the promotion of the better understanding of the regional conflicts, and the peaceful transformation through conducting a series of lectures and a free public discussion.
The other objections are the trust building between future decision-makers, the rising of the awareness about the conflicts and the methods of their peaceful transformation. This is a unique opportunity for the young Ukrainian, Russian, Moldavian, Belarus, Georgian, Abkhazian, and Ossetian specialists to take part in this process and develop new ideas concerning the conflict transformation.
