On May 2, the first activity was held at the initiative of young leaders

Stickers, flyers, photo frames and lots of smiles — everything to remind us of the European choice once again. Citizens took photos in a specially made frame, received information about the projects implemented by the European Union in Kutaisi, and took along symbolic stickers and flyers. We believe that Kutaisi is a truly European city, and it is on this path that the movement should continue in the name of equality, development, and freedom.
