Prime Minister of Georgia - Irakli Kobakhidze, Speaker of Parliament - Shalva Papuashvili, Tbilisi Mayor-  Kakha Kaladze, and Minister of Education, Science, and Youth - Giorgi Amilakhvari held a meeting with young people participating in the Shaori Youth Camp. Members of the government introduced initiatives and future plans aimed at developing youth policy.

This year marks the final session of the Shaori camp, which has hosted approximately 800 young participants in total by 2024. Participants were selected through an open competition, providing them the opportunity to engage in the camp's activities.

The camp aims to enhance access to active recreation for young people, promote their social integration, develop their physical and intellectual potential, and encourage healthy lifestyles, as well as national and European values, and patriotism. The program lasts five days, during which participants engage in a variety of educational, sports, and cognitive activities.

In collaboration with the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the National Bank, and the Patriarchate of Georgia, training sessions on various topical issues are also held for the young attendees. Notable figures, including politicians, athletes, and artists, meet with students to share their experiences.

Additionally, one session of the Shaori camp was exclusively for young people from Abkhazia, organized in collaboration with the Abkhazian Culture, Sport, and Youth Affairs Agency. In cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the camp also hosted representatives of the Georgian diaspora.

Before the summer camps opened this year, 160 young individuals were trained as camp leaders, familiarizing them with camp operations and diverse programs aligned with participants' interests. The best leaders selected after the training will be employed at the Shaori and Anaklia summer camps, and this approach will be continued in future camps.

With financial support from the Ministry of Education, Science, and Youth Affairs, the youth camps in Anaklia, Shaori, and other thematic locations welcomed about 4,500 young people this year. In partnership with the Ministry of Defense, the Army Camp project hosted over 2,000 students in grades 9, 10, and 11.

Notably, with financial backing from the Ministry of Education, Science, and Youth Affairs and collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a summer camp for Ukrainian students was held in Kakheti. The camp provided cultural and recreational activities for two weeks, accommodating 88 Ukrainian children and 12 adults, including children of National Guard servicemen from Kyiv and students from Kharkiv.

In total, the cost of organizing summer camps in 2024 exceeded GEL 4 million..
