What is a barcamp? You can find more detailed information for example on Wikipedia. It is an event with open and participatory workshops – i.e. open discussions, presentations of interesting projects, programmes, initiatives, sharing information and experience. Several workshops take place at the same time during the event, always in smaller groups to reach better interaction. BarCamp is not only about lectures and presentations, but also about being active and being inspired.
The official languages of the BarCamp are English and Russian with the simultaneous interpreting (to English or Russian).
The participation in the event is free of charge for selected participants.
The organizers provide vegetarian food for the participants during the BarCamp. For the participants from other places than Kutaisi, accommodation will be provided and the travel costs are covered (only public transport: train, bus or marshrutka).

We expect the participants to participate in the whole duration of the BarCamp.
