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. \nOne 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. \n“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. \n“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. \n“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.” \nThe 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. \nAt 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. \nThe 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. \nKey achievements of the project: \n\nFamily physicians and health professionals across the country have been trained to identify the risk of autism spectrum disorders;\nFive 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;\nABA 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;\n15 specialists were funded who completed the international certification course required to qualify as a Behavior Therapy Supervisor;\nIn 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;\nThe model of inclusive education was presented to three pilot kindergartens of Georgia\, special teachers and kindergarten educators were trained;\nA 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;\nIn 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;\nIn 2020\, the Ministry of Internally Displaced Persons from the Occupied Territories\, Health\, Labor and Social Affairs of Georgia approved the “Minimum Service Standards for People with Autism”;\nThe Association of Behavioral Analysts has developed and submitted to Parliament a legislative initiative that\, if approved\, would regulate the activities of behavioral analysts.\n\nRead more about the project: https://bit.ly/3cBPGdl \n2021 \n  \n  \n  \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n[wpai_display_imported_files_here] URL:https://events.iliauni.edu.ge/event/summarizing-event-of-the-project-expansion-and-improvement-of-services-for-people-with-autism-spectrum-disorder-in-georgia/ CATEGORIES:Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://events.iliauni.edu.ge/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/63222.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Dubai:20211206T140000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Dubai:20211206T140000 DTSTAMP:20260421T083352 CREATED:20211203T122046Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240202T091806Z UID:10000454-1638799200-1638799200@events.iliauni.edu.ge SUMMARY:Public Discussion - "The Importance of Transparency Standards in Public Opinion Research" DESCRIPTION:On December 6\, 2021\, Georgian Association for Public Opinion Research will hold a public discussion to talk about the importance of developing transparency standards to improve the quality of research. \nGeorgian Association for public Opinion Research is a professional association\, which aims to promote public opinion and other scientific research in accordance with quality and high ethical standards. \nThe transparency standards are among the issues to be discussed during the discussion\, the ways to elaborate and develop them\, mechanisms for monitoring and enforcing transparency standards.

Caritas Czech Republic implemented the project with the financial support of the Czech Development Agency (EUR 255 000) and in close cooperation with the Child Development Institute 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\, Labor\, Health and Social Affairs of Georgia\, taking into account the government’s priorities in this area. \nSignificant achievements as a result of the project: \n\nFamily physicians and healthcare professionals across Georgia have been trained to detect the risk of autism spectrum at an early stage.\nFive regions of Georgia are considered the “gold standard” of diagnosis needed to detect the autism spectrum. The so-called ADOS tool was delivered and trained specialists were trained in its use.\nABA specialists have been trained in using professional child assessment tools (ABLLS-R and EFL)\, which are essential for the full implementation of ABA therapy.\nFifteen specialists were funded who took the international certification course required to qualify as Behavior Therapy supervisors.\nIn 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\, trained specialists.\nThe inclusive education model was presented to three pilot kindergartens of Georgia\, special teachers and kindergarten educators were trained.\nAn autism program evaluation model was presented to various municipalities. Consequently\, some of them have allocated the required budget for this program\, while others have increased the number of hours required for both the beneficiaries involved in the program and the therapy.\nIn 2018\, the Ministry of Internally Displaced Persons from the Occupied Territories\, Health\, Labor and Social Affairs approved the National Protocol on Autism Detection\, Diagnosis and Management. \nIn 2020\, the Ministry of Health approved the “Minimum Standards for Services for People with Autism.”\nThe Association of Behavior Analysts has developed and submitted to Parliament a legislative initiative that\, if approved\, would lead to the regulation of the activities of Behavior Analysts.\n\n2021\n  \n  \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n[wpai_display_imported_files_here] URL:https://events.iliauni.edu.ge/event/summary-conference-of-the-project-expansion-and-improvement-of-services-for-people-with-autism-spectrum-disorder-in-georgia/ CATEGORIES:Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://events.iliauni.edu.ge/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/63168.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Dubai:20211130T120900 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Dubai:20211130T120900 DTSTAMP:20260421T083352 CREATED:20211115T080800Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240202T091814Z UID:10000470-1638274140-1638274140@events.iliauni.edu.ge SUMMARY:International Conference: „What is Soviet in post-Soviet space?’’ DESCRIPTION:The Center for Russian Studies\, a non-governmental organization\, with the financial support of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation\, in partnership with Ilia State University\, will hold an international conference in a hybrid format on November 30 – December 1 – “What is Soviet in post-Soviet space“. \nAbout the conference \nThe conference is dedicated to understanding the connections between the past and the present in the politics of Russia and the region.

What can we do to foster the flow of information in both directions—from classroom practice back to formulating new research questions and generating data to test what we think we “know”? And what directions should new research take to best serve our students and teaching staff in their day-to-day work? In other words\, how can 21st-century research continue to improve teaching and learning? \nThese questions underlie the theme of the 2022 IUT conference: “From Research to Practice.” \nIn many universities today there is still a gap between the two. Traditional forms of teaching\, including the much-maligned lecture\, have demonstrated remarkable resiliency\, while innovative practices\, such as flipped classrooms and extended student discussions\, have often faced resistance from both teachers and students. These and other challenges have increased with the pandemic\, which has transformed classroom teaching in unpredictable and often negative ways. \nOver three days we will explore the links between research and teaching in the hopes of providing some answers to the questions posed above. Given the continuing uncertainties of the COVID pandemic\, however\, the format of IUT 2022 remains fluid. Our strong hope is to meet in person in Tbilisi\, the capital of Georgia\, where the Ilia State University is ready and eager to host our 2022 meeting. We recognize that COVID-related travel policies remain fluid and inconsistent across regions. Therefore we remain flexible in our choice of format. If emergent conditions prevent an in-person conference\, we will return to the live\, 72-hour format successfully used in 2020 and 2021. If we are able to gather in Tbilisi\, we will adopt a hybrid format\, which will allow remote participation from delegates who are unable to journey to Georgia. \nWhatever the final format—hybrid or remote—we hope that you will join us in July\, 2022 for what promises to be another inspiring and useful IUT global conference. \nSubmit Proposal Here \n2021 \n  \n  \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n[wpai_display_imported_files_here] URL:https://events.iliauni.edu.ge/event/2022-hybrid-conference-from-research-to-practice/ CATEGORIES:Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://events.iliauni.edu.ge/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/62508.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Dubai:20211105T180000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Dubai:20211105T180000 DTSTAMP:20260421T083353 CREATED:20211101T073829Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240202T091906Z UID:10000483-1636135200-1636135200@events.iliauni.edu.ge SUMMARY:Scientific-Reporting Conference: Memory Places and the Symbolic Environment of Georgian National Identity DESCRIPTION:On November 5\, at 18:00 p.m. \, Ilia State University will host an online scientific-reporting conference “Places of Memory and the Symbolic Environment of Georgian National Identity“. \nThe conference will present the research results of the scientific project for fundamental researches conducted within the framework of the Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation of Georgia State Science Grant (N FR17_624). \nThe title of the project is “Georgian National Identity and ’’Places of Memory “: Dominant and Alternative Perspectives on the Construction of the Past”. \nThe representatives of various disciplines of humanities and social sciences (history\, political science\, sociology\, cultural studies\, comparative literature)\, Ilia State University (leading organization) and professors and young researchers of Iv. Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University (co-participant organization) worked on this scientific project during 2018-2021. \nBased on the research\, a special issue of the international peer-reviewed journal Caucasus Survey was published this year – Rethinking Memory Sites and Symbolic Realms of Georgian National Identity. Also\, a Georgian language collection of the same works is being prepared for publication at Ilia State University Publishing House. \nEach work included in the special issue and collection is placed in a common interdisciplinary framework and complements each other. The authors consider the memory places discussed by them as integral and interconnected structural elements of the Georgian complex symbolic environment. Consequently\, there are many points of contact and intersection between separate works in terms of research issues\, concepts and theoretical approaches\, which presented an interesting picture of the relationship between Georgian historical knowledge\, collective memory and national identity. \nThe conference program is available at: https://bit.ly/3nUDY2B \nThe meeting will be held remotely\, in an online format\, through the program Zoom and you can attend it at the address: https://bit.ly/3BA4Tp8 \nAlso\, live broadcast will be provided on the official Facebook page of Ilia State University\, at the address: https:www.facebook.com/Iliauni \nAbout Researches \nThe research highlights the turning points of the emergence and dynamics of modern Georgian nationalism from the second half of the 19th century to the present day. The genealogical perspective allows us to observe the stages of formation of the collective memory of the Georgian society\, in the context of different political conjunctures: \n\nDuring the period of Russian Imperial rule in Georgia\, at the same time during the Georgian nationalism (from the second half of the 19th century);\nIn the short period of construction of the First Republic\, the Nation State ( 1918-1921);\nIn the area of radical and often traumatic transformations of the Soviet period (1921-1991) and finally\,\nIn the post-Soviet era\, when a comprehensive process of collective memory\, another\, fundamental reconfiguration began.\n\nSpecifically\, the authors and speakers focused on the most important places of the memory that contribute to the historical consciousness and collective memory of the Georgian society\, including: Ilia Chavchavadze as a symbolic figure and place of memory; \n\nMtatsminda Pantheon of Georgian writers and public figures;\nStalin monuments as places of conflicting memory;\nSymbolic area of Tbilisi as a Georgian national identity and cultural memory;\nNarrative between David IV the builder and battle of Didgori\, as a source of historical ideas about the territorial integrity of Georgia;\nConstruction of the national identity and memory places for Georgian Migrants in the United States and Germany.\n\nTime: November 5\, 18:00 – 20:30 p.m. \nFormat: Remote\, Zoom platform at https://bit.ly/3BA4Tp8 \n2021 \n  \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n[wpai_display_imported_files_here] URL:https://events.iliauni.edu.ge/event/scientific-reporting-conference-memory-places-and-the-symbolic-environment-of-georgian-national-identity/ CATEGORIES:Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://events.iliauni.edu.ge/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/62725.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Dubai:20211025T131800 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Dubai:20211025T131800 DTSTAMP:20260421T083353 CREATED:20211022T063900Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240202T091908Z UID:10000497-1635167880-1635167880@events.iliauni.edu.ge SUMMARY:Public Discussion - Presentation of the Georgian Public Opinion Research Association DESCRIPTION:On October 25\, the Georgian Public Opinion Research Association will hold a public discussion to discuss the Association’s plans and goals. \nGeorgian Public Opinion Research Association is a professional association\, which aims to promote public opinion and other scientific research with high quality and ethical standards. \nThe purpose of the discussion is to increase awareness about the Georgian Public Opinion Research Association.

In particular\, the subjects of Muslim women’s education\, establishment of women’s benevolent societies and women’s journals in old-Imperial Azerbaijan has not been the subject of any existing historical accounts. This gap in the historiography has led to a popular misconception that the reformation of Muslim women’s societal position only started in the Soviet period. This lecture aspires to fill a gap in the limited knowledge on ideas about cultural modernization\, Azeri women\, and their transformation.\nIn Azerbaijan\, the late-Imperial concepts about womanhood and motherhood\, envisaging women as unveiled\, modern\, and educated\, were linked with motherhood and the fate of the imagined progressive nation\, millat. Azerbaijani men of letters crafted an image of a new woman: the gentle wife and the scientific mother who could give birth and raise only future state leaders\, lawyers\, doctors\, scientists\, and lawful citizens\, and nothing less. That conception of new types of mothers as the foundation of the proposed millat\, nevertheless\, brought new social norms for gendered relationships. In the press\, Azerbaijani intellectuals and politicians voiced their arguments for granting Muslim women greater independence from conventional hierarchies within family and society. In particular\, the modern public education program\, the introduction of the first public schools and female teacher training centre\, gave rise to the new cohort of independent and modern educated female intellectuals\, politicians\, and civil servants. This new generation of Muslim women continued the policies for female emancipation during the period of the Azerbaijani Democratic Republic\, 1918 – 1920\, and after the sovietization of Azerbaijan in 1920. \nspeaker: Yelena Abdullayeva  \nDate: 17:00 June 22\, 2021 \nLanguages: Georgian\, English \nFormat: Online\, Facebook Live \n  \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n[wpai_display_imported_files_here] URL:https://events.iliauni.edu.ge/event/remaking-muslim-society-by-remaking-its-women-azerbaijani-case-of-muslim-women-s-reformation-1890-1920/ CATEGORIES:Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://events.iliauni.edu.ge/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/60641.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
