The CEC and the Training Centre, in partnership with the Ministry of Education, Science and Youth of Georgia, implemented a large-scale informational-study project "Democratic Elections and the Election Environment" from February 17 to March 12, 2025, with the involvement of civic education teachers from public schools.

The project conducted in line with the electoral education serves to fulfill the complex task of raising electoral awareness among the younger generation. The program "Democratic Elections and the Electoral Environment" developed by the Training Centre for basic and secondary school teachers includes to facilitate the planning of the lesson process on the elections module and sharing updated information with students. For these purposes, teachers were provided with additional informational resources specially prepared by the Training Centre, which include the election topics for discussion, reading materials for expanding the topic, practical exercises and recommendations on the methodology for conducting them. In addition, the following important issues were discussed with the participants of the meetings: importance of voters’ role and aspects of political culture; principles and international standards for conducting democratic elections; trends in the modernization of elections and the use of electronic technologies in the voting process; realization of voters' suffrage; secrecy and security during the voting process; inclusive electoral environment; election services offered to voters by the Election Administration of Georgia.

The Training Centre's expert-trainers ensured the implementation of the project. Civic education teachers evaluated the informational-study program positively.
