Students of International Design School of Georgian Technical University, led by Deputy Dean Ms. Nino Akhobadze, paid a study visit to the Parliament of Georgia and met with the Chairman of the Committee on Environment and Natural Resources Mr. Kakha Kuchava, MP.

Mr. Kuchava spoke to the students about the Parliament's "Green Initiatives” and introduced in detail the four important bills on which the Parliamentary Committee on Environment and Natural Resources is working.

"As students at a design school, you may not have comprehensive information about environmental challenges, and that is understandable. Our Committee believes that concepts created by Design Thinking philosophy on which the IDS curriculum is based can be used for the active involvement of civil society, all stakeholders and government institutions to solve environmental problems. Design Thinking is one of the most important and creative methods of problem solving, which is why we try to involve its concepts as much as possible and in this way to promote an idea of new standards in the process of thematic research and post-legislative monitoring”, said Mr. Kakha Kuchava during the meeting with IDS students.
