Main objective of the project is to inform, engage and increase ethnic minorities’ awareness and trust  in the issues such as   Eastern Partnership Program, Georgian-EU relations perspectives and the role of minorities in this process, as long as, still, ethnic minorities are not well informed about the responsibilities and benefits followed by  integration with Europe, and in order to resolve the problem, it is necessary to make people aware about the good and importance of  European Choice.
