01-04-2025
A new student project “City and Culture” has been launched at the Georgian Technical University. The project is supported by the GTU Rector, Academician David Gurgenidze, and is implemented by the Nodar Tabidze Student Club.
Within the framework of the project, members and students of the Nodar Tabidze Club visited the National Library of Georgia. As the head of the club states, the project aims to introduce students to the sights of Tbilisi.
According to Archil Gurgenidze, the club’s goal is to promote knowledge, curiosity and academic success. One of the most important paths to success for a student is the library - the gateway to cognition and discoveries.
“A library is not just a repository of books, nor a collection of books; a library is an irreplaceable resource. A visit to the National Library by club members and students will once again remind us of the invaluable intellectual treasure that is preserved in the library. The library strengthens critical thinking, develops research skills, and enriches academic experience. The knowledge and skills acquired in the library enable us to achieve our goals and make a significant contribution to the field of education. We strive to create a bright future together through knowledge and discoveries. Knowledge is the foundation of success, and the library is the key that opens the door to the future. The National Library of Georgia is one of the best book depositories, where we saw the first printed Georgian book, the Georgian-Italian dictionary printed in Rome in 1629, the Gospel and “Davidni” printed in the Vakhtangian printing house in 1709, the books of Erekle II Printing house.
We got acquainted with the Kartvelishvili edition of “The Knight in the Panther’s Skin” presented in a separate hall, and the history of its creation. It is noteworthy that the National Library keeps an edition of “The Knight in the Panther’s Skin” translated into 50 languages. On behalf of the Nodar Tabidze Club, we want to thank the administration of the National Library for this opportunity and the employee of the “Book Museum” Ms. Nino Khvedelidze,” says Archil Gurgenidze.
The new university project is one year long.
