Social responsibility is an essential value for the European School. There are numerous avenues the school takes to impact society positively. This time, we visited the school in Mereti - the village adjacent to the occupation line and delivered a projector, whiteboards, and books to make the learning process more effective and engaging for the local students. Recently, the European School sent a projector to Abkhazia public school #7 in Senaki. These charity activities are conducted within the National Library project Equilibrium with the support of the writer Giorgi Kekelidze.

The European School received a generous donation of face masks from a parent for students of different ages. “I wanted to serve the school community,” said Xueping Wu, who made the donation. 12500 pieces of masks will be distributed across the different programs of the ES and will come in handy when students leave masks at home. Primary Program students enjoyed wearing new masks which are not only safe for kids but are all very colorful and creative!
