On February 20, 2026, in order to raise awareness of children's rights, an interactive meeting was organized for children by the Public Defender of Georgia, the European Union Office in Georgia and the UNICEF. The theme of the meeting was: Children for Their Rights: A Dialogue between Children and Leaders.

At the meeting, young people were given the opportunity to share their views and engage in a direct dialogue on their rights with Public Defender Levan Ioseliani, Deputy Public Defender Irine Chikhladze, Deputy Head of the European Union Delegation to Georgia Lenka Vitkova, and Acting Representative of UNICEF in Georgia Alexandru Nartea.

In his speech, the Public Defender of Georgia, Levan Ioseliani, emphasized the importance of explaining to children the mechanisms for protecting their rights. The participants were also presented with information materials on children's rights, adapted for children, prepared by the Public Defender's Office with the support of the European Union and the United Nations Children's Fund, which aim to make information about children's rights and existing protection mechanisms more accessible, interesting and easily understandable for children. Special attention was paid to the importance of the prepared materials, including their direct use in schools. The discussion was followed by a practical part, where children had the opportunity to better understand the materials and share ideas on how the situation of children's rights protection could be improved in the country.
