The National Center for Teacher Professional Development hosted three-day training within the framework of the joint project of the European Union and Council of Europe "Instruments for Implementation of the Framework of Competences For Democratic Culture"." The event was attended by public and private school teachers.

The aim of the training was to introduce the "new model of competences for democratic culture", understand the school practice within the "new model of competences for democratic culture" and develop the school practice based on the "new model of competences for democratic culture."

The core idea of the competences for democratic culture is to bring together all the basic principles that are the main pillars in education, human rights and intercultural relationships.

The Council of Europe started to work on the framework of the competences in 2014. The group of experts has developed the current international or local scheme for describing competences, analyzed and distinguished several tens of competences that have been subsequently divided into descriptors. With the active involvement of the member states, including Georgia, finally 20 competences were established.

The Tools for Introduction of Competences for Democratic Culture in schools is another large international project coordinated by Georgia and the states involved are Andorra, Slovakia and Croatia. Later, Bulgaria will join the project.
