The World Abaza Congress continues its educational activities as part of the "Ирӡтәым" project. This time, the event took place at Sukhum Secondary School No. 10, where high school students delivered speeches.

The lecture's topic was "Depth of traditions, sincerity of the heart: the foundations of Abkhazian ethics." The invited speaker, artist Nodar Tsvizhba, discussed with the students the fundamental principles of Abkhazian ethics and traditional norms of behavior embedded in the people's cultural code.

The dialogue took place in an open and friendly atmosphere. The students actively participated in the discussion and asked their guest about his career and national traditions in painting.

Another lecture was held at Sukhum Secondary School No. 1 as part of the "Ирӡтәым" project, implemented by the World Abaza Congress in collaboration with Inna Dzhugeliia, a lecturer in the Abkhaz Language Department at Abkhaz State University.

The event was dedicated to the foundations of traditional parenting in Abkhazian culture.

During the meeting, the speaker explained in detail to the students the key principles of male and female upbringing, as laid out in the "Apsuara" moral and ethical code.

The lecture participants discussed how these age-old norms and customs help shape one’s identity while preserving national identity and connection to cultural roots.

Following the lecture, Esma Kvitsiniia, a specialist in the WAC department for youth and physical education, presented the school board with educational cards for the children.
