The Research-Intellectual Club “Dialogue of Generations” (RICDOG) is successfully implementing an innovative educational program designed for socially vulnerable children aged 6–12. The aim of the program is to develop participants’ creative and critical thinking, communication skills, and to teach English using engaging and innovative methods. The program is taking place in Kutaisi, in a newly established social enterprise space, and is funded through resources raised via public crowdfunding on the Orbeliani Meti platform. The program is provided free of charge for three groups of children—two of which have already started, while the organizational team is currently working on assembling the third group. Achieved Results As part of the program, essential preparatory stages were conducted, including participant selection and planning for the educational process. Special attention was given to working appropriately with different age groups: the children were divided into two categories—6–8 years old and 9–12 years old. After this division, a diagnostic assessment was conducted to determine each child’s level of English proficiency, which served as the basis for assigning them to the appropriate groups. A total of 18 children participated in the program—11 girls and 7 boys, coming from 9 different families.
