Project “Cinema at school” is implemented with support of the Ministry of Culture and Monument Protection of Georgia and the Ministry of Education and Science of Georgia. Currently 217 schools and all regions of Georgia, including the villages located near the occupation line and mountain villages, are involved in the project.
