The masterclass was hosted by Giorgi Kikalishvili, the founder of the youth organization "Droni" and the coordinator of Erasmus + for Youth and the European Solidarity Corps in Georgia. Masterclass participants were introduced about the opportunities available in Georgia to young people and to youth organizations. Talks focused on volunteering and exchange programs for youth, areas of volunteering, the importance of such projects for CSOs and various aspects of their implementation. The master class participants also received practical recommendations on youth engagement in civil society activities.
