The partners of the project includedthe following organizations: Soviet Past Researh Laboratory, Non-Governmental Monitoring of Cultural Inheritance and Civic Education Teachers Forum. The purpose of the project was to study the Georgian experience and examples of communal self-organization and cooperation that existed before the Soviet Occupation. As a result, a two volume book was prepared - ''Initiative for Changes – Experience of Communal Self-organization in Georgia before Soviet Occupation'', which tells the story of 20 different cases of successful communal mobilization during the period from the second half of the 19th century to 1921. The book also includes a brief historical oveview of the experience of communal cooperation. An exhibiton was also held within the framework of the project.
