Taking care of the environment around us is our collective and individual responsibility. On October 20, a large clean-up event was held in Mtskheta initiated by the International School of Economics (ISET). ISET academic staff and students actively participated in the event. The location was chosen for its touristic importance, as Mtskheta is a place that attracts many visitors every year. The main objective of the clean-up event was to motivate students to take care of the environment and encourage them to be involved in environmental protection.

The clean-up event was organized in cooperation with the Greens Movement of Georgia.

This is not the first time ISET has taken part in environmental and community work; the institution has a history of keeping Georgia’s natural environments clean. Most notably, staff and students were a part of cleanup operations after the flooding of Tbilisi Zoo in 2015.
