Hello People!

First of all thanks a lot for becoming a member of this group. This is your group, this is our group.

Most of you already know that, we started to have that gatherings to materialize our ideas to have cross-cultural Social Club in Tbilisi. But what we have realized is, those gatherings will slow us down on our way to create something concrete rapidly. So perhaps it is better to start organizing events and activities right away, meanwhile we can still have those debates to give a better shape to our ideas. And of course one of our main goal is to have a physical space, some friends are already working on it, but until we have that place, starting to "act" would give us more credibility to fasten the process of getting physical space.

Different events shall take place on a regular basis and whenever initiatives will call for action. Until we have our own place those events can be held in different places depending on the type of activity. So please support, with your own ideas and initiative and be aware that you are as much responsible as me Ibo, who is writing this message or Mika who gave his house for our gatherings or Fanny who wrote the draft of the concept or Levan who is trying to find a way to get physical space or Nick who is trying to involve his collagues to create our own database/webpage and many others..Also, until we have our own webpage, I think google group is efficient enough to communicate and expand our network of like-minded people.

What are our values and aims ?

Of course they are not fully defined yet,

We believe that by coming together with ideas for creative and social projects, open-hearted people from all over the world can make positive change. Our differences as well as our similarities are a great source of strength! Each of us has something to offer, and none of us can achieve our aims alone. (Thanks Fanny and Justin for this paragraph)

As more members are joining our group, it is crucial to consolidate which is good thing, but while growing fast we should also think about consolidation which is also going to be a natural process. During this process we should never forget about our idealistic values, and we shouldn't let the movement to go in the wrong direction.

We should also expand this idea first in this region by supporting same kind of movements in Armenia,Azerbeijan,Iran,Turkey.... and even in Russia and Irak. And maybe in long term making common websites, links and mobility in between those "movements" and social clubs to be.

We should never forget that we are all human beings above all! Dreamers with strong belief that we can make dreams come true!

Ps: We are calling people with any kind of specific skills to contribute to manifestation of this idea. And do not forget that "The movement has already started and we are already doing it."

Please invite your friends with the same values by sharing this message and link:
