Eric Lee's Public Lecture: “Why the Georgian Experiment Matters”
2022-05-25 19:00
American writer and journalist, Eric Lee, will deliver a public lecture on “Why the Georgian Experiment Matters” at Ilia State University on May 25th, with regards to Georgia’s Independence Day.
The writer is staying in Georgia within the framework of the Writer-in-Residence joint program of the Writers’ House and the U.S. Embassy in Georgia, and with the support of Ilia State University.
Eric Lee will be awarded the title of Honorary Doctor of Ilia State University after the lecture.
About the lecture
Until 1917, it was widely expected that the victory of a socialist party anywhere in the world would lead to an expansion of human freedom. That is what all socialists had been promising since Karl Marx famously wrote that “the first step in the revolution … [is] to win the battle of democracy.” But instead of democracy, the victory of the Russian Communists resulted in the world’s first modern totalitarian state. What had gone wrong? Did socialism mean a new form of tyranny? And was there an alternative to the dictatorship established by Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin?
The first Georgian republic, which lasted barely three years, was embraced by social democratic leaders including Karl Kautsky as the alternative to Bolshevism. The delegation of European social democratic leaders who visited Georgia in late 1920 — and the parties they led — began to rethink their own vision of a new society in light of what they saw emerging in Russia and Georgia at that time. Even more so in the aftermath of the crushing of the 1924 uprising in Georgia, the two camps which had co-existed on the European Left came apart, with Communists on the one side and Socialists on the other.
Though the historic memory of the Georgian Republic had largely disappeared in Europe, their vision of “democratic socialism,” an alternative to Communism, became increasingly important, especially during the Cold War. That vision of liberating and democratic socialism remains relevant today as well.
About the Speaker
Eric Lee (b. 1955) is an American writer, journalist, and trade unionist. He is the founding editor of the website LabourStart, which covers trade union media and campaigns around the world.
Eric Lee devoted thirty years to the study of various aspects of Georgian history and wrote two books:

The Experiment: Georgia’s Forgotten Revolution 1918-1921 (Zed, 2017) The book is also published in Georgian (Publishing House “Poetry”, 2018) and in Russian.
Night of the Bayonets: The Texel Uprising and Hitler’s revenge (GreenHill Books, 2020) The book entitled “Georgian Uprising on Texel: The Last Battle in Europe” is also published in Georgian (Publishing House “Poetry”, 2020), Dutch and Czech.

In addition to these books, Eric Lee is the author of four other books:

Britain’s Plot to Kill Hitler: The True Story of Operation Foxley and SOE (GreenHill Books, 2022)
Operation Basalt: The British Raid on Sark and Hitler’s Commando Order (The History Press, 2016)
The Labour Movement and the Internet: The New Internationalism (Pluto Press, 1996)

About the Lecture:
The rise of extreme nationalism is one of the greatest challenges facing democracies today. But while most defenders of liberal democracy want to drive nationalism off the political playing field, some argue that democracies need to embrace national values and strengthen national identities if they want to survive. Are they right? What are the risks of relying on nationalism to heal our damaged democracies?

Hanbok
Hanbok is the traditional Korean attire that can be traced back to the Three Kingdoms of Korea period (1st century BC – 7th century AD). However, present day Hanbok is patterned after the hanbok worn in the Joseon dynasty and is often worn on traditional holidays or official events.
Seoye
Korean calligraphy, also known as Seoye, is the Korean tradition of artistic writing. This art form derived from Chinese calligraphy was later introduced to Korea and Japan and reflects the tradition of writing on paper in Hanja (Chinese characters) and Hangul, the native Korean alphabet.
Ddakji
Ddakji, a traditional Korean toy, is made from folded pieces of paper. It can be played easily; the goal is to flip the opponent’s Ddakji placed on the floor by throwing yours.
Tuho
Tuho was mostly played by royal families or Yanban (nobles of the Joseon period) families in the backyard of the house. The goal is to throw arrows into the pot from a distance. Players are divided into two teams. The team that throws the most arrows in the pot wins.

Summarizing event of the project "Expansion and Improvement of Services for People with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Georgia"
2021-12-08 12:03
On December 3, on the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, Caritas Czech Republic and the Institute for Child Development of Ilia State University held a summarizing conference of the project “Expanding and Improving Services for People with Autism Spectrum Disorders in Georgia” funded by the Czech Development Agency.
The event was opened by Nino Doborjginidze, Vice-Rector of Ilia State University, Nino Tsintsadze, Director of the Institute for Child Development of Ilia State University and Jan Blinka, Head of the Mission of Caritas Czech Republic in Georgia.
The project aimed to provide quality and affordable services for people with autism spectrum, as well as professional development of specialists in the field across the country.
At the summarizing conference, Rusudan Chkhubianishvili, Project Manager of the Caritas Czech Republic, introduced the results achieved in 2015-2021 and the challenges of the work process to the audience. The head of the Institute for Child Development, Nino Tsintsadze, spoke about the importance of the steps taken to support the field as a result of a six-year partnership, improving the quality of services and diversity.
One of the most important parts of the conference was the presentation of the preliminary results of the project “Prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorders, Clinical Peculiarities and Risk Factors in Georgia” conducted within the project. Maia Gabunia, Chair of the Georgian Academy for Childhood Disabilities and Project Expert, Gvantsa Chvamania, Acting Chair of the Association of Behavioral Analysts, spoke about the emerging trends in the research and presented a report on the importance of the Association’s legislative initiative. If approved, the initiative will regulate the activities of behavior analysts.
“Ilia State University has been implementing vital research and educational projects for the country and the region since its foundation. I would especially like to highlight the projects dictated by our social responsibility. This is especially mentioned in the strategy and implies the creation of equal opportunities, research and teaching in this area. The Institute for Child Development at Ilia State University is unique in the whole region, it is really a distinctive space, which, under the leadership of one scientific team, offers both teaching-education as well as research and service part. It is for this purpose that the Institute for Child Development was established, which creates vital resources in all three areas. Acquiring such a broad function, establishing an institute that is fully capable of operating, is unimaginable without the support of large international partners. Caritas Czech Republic was such a supporter.” – Nino Doborjginidze, Vice-Rector of Iliauni.
“The project is very important for people with autism spectrum in Georgia, because their services have been significantly improved across the country. We have worked with many stakeholders in various areas – including the Ministry of Internally Displaced Persons from the Occupied Territories, Health, Labor and Social Affairs of Georgia, the Institute for Child Development at Iliauni- to offer a variety of services in the region at the national level We have supported the service standards of people with autism spectrum disorders, and a general framework has been set up for all service providers to provide quality services for children with autism spectrum disorders, including at the municipal level. ” – Jan Blinka, Head of the Mission of Caritas Czech Republic.
“The aim of the project is to create a supportive environment for people with autism spectrum in Georgia, as well as to raise the qualification of specialists working with children with autism spectrum and their professional development, in order to provide quality service to beneficiaries. Our goal is also to promote inclusive preschool education in Georgian kindergartens. The project started in 2015. At that time the service was available only in Tbilisi, there were services in the regions as well, but they were not of good quality. We aimed to strengthen the regions in this direction, for which we actively used the expertise of Ilia State University. Through its specialists, regular supervision was carried out on the place for local autism centers. With our support for quality assurance, an autism detection and management protocol has been approved, which is actively used by specialists and representatives of the primary health care industry, and the Ministry of Internally Displaced Persons from the Occupied Territories, Health, Labor and Social Affairs of Georgia has approved a minimum standard of service, a guide for municipalities, they know What standard should the services they provide meet the needs of children, but the condition of adults and persons with an adult autism spectrum remains open as there is no service for them, which is very disturbing. We want the project to continue in this direction – we are looking for state support and new donors who may be interested in this issue.’’ – Rusudan Chkhubianishvili, Manager of the Project “Expanding and Improving Services for People with Autism Spectrum Disorders in Georgia.”
The participation in the Caritas Czech project has enabled the Institute for Child Development of Ilia State University to introduce two new, modern and very important models for children with autism. One is the Denver early school model, the other is the top model. The first is for children from 2 to 5 years, the second – for children from 2 to 12 years. It is very important to ensure sustainability in the sense that the service is already underway, research on Denver will begin soon, and Serci has become part of the curriculum. ”Nino Tsintsadze, Head of the Institute for Child Development at Iliauni.
At the end of the event, Ilia State University Professor Tinatin Chincharauli handed over certificates to the graduates of the University’s International Certification Course in Behavior Analysis.
The project implemented by Caritas Czech Republic was aimed at expanding and improving the services of people with autism spectrum, as well as professional training of specialists in the field. Caritas Czech Republic implemented the project with the financial support of the Czech Development Agency (EUR 255 000) and in close cooperation with the Institute for Child Development of Ilia State University and the Academy for Children with Disabilities. The project was developed in cooperation with the Ministry of Internally Displaced Persons from the Occupied Territories, Health, Labor and Social Affairs of Georgia, taking into account the government’s priorities in this area.
Key achievements of the project:

Family physicians and health professionals across the country have been trained to identify the risk of autism spectrum disorders;
Five regions of Georgia are required to identify the autism spectrum, considered the “gold standard” of diagnosis, the so-called. The ADOS tool was delivered and trained by relevant specialists in its use;
ABA specialists have been trained in the use of child assessment tools (ABLLS-R and EFL), which are essential for the full implementation of ABA therapy;
15 specialists were funded who completed the international certification course required to qualify as a Behavior Therapy Supervisor;
In parallel with the ABA, two alternative approaches to autism intervention – the Denver Early Intervention Model and the SCERTS (Social Communication, Emotional Regulation, Transactional Support) model – were introduced, the specialists were trained;
The model of inclusive education was presented to three pilot kindergartens of Georgia, special teachers and kindergarten educators were trained;
A model for evaluating the autism program was presented to various municipalities, with some allocating the budget needed for the program and others increasing the number of hours required for both beneficiaries and therapy;
In 2018, the Ministry of Internally Displaced Persons from the Occupied Territories, Health, Labor and Social Affairs of Georgia approved the National Protocol on Autism Detection, Diagnosis and Management;
