UN Day Celebration in Tbilisi

The United Nations in Georgia marked UN Day 2025 and the 80th anniversary of the signing of the UN Charter with a special event held in Tbilisi. 

The celebration brought together youth representatives, members of the Government of Georgia, international and national partners, and UN colleagues.

The event opened with remarks by Didier Trebucq, UN Resident Coordinator in Georgia, and Lasha Darsalia, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Georgia. 

A highlight of the celebration was the Youth Talk titled “Building Our Future Together Towards 2030,” moderated by Marekhi Gvaramadze, Co-Founder of Kant’s Academy. The panel featured four inspiring young leaders from diverse fields, including technology, education, and environmental advocacy: Etuna Asanashvili, Youth Climate Activist; Nodar Ivanidze, General Partner of Steppe & Stone Capital; co-founder of Global Tech Weekend; Lizi Lomidze, Representative of the organization Helping Hand, 2024 National Volunteer Award winner; and Giorgi Moistsraphishvili,FLEX Alumni Coordinator. They shared their vision for a sustainable and inclusive future. Each speaker reflected on their personal journey, highlighting how youth-led initiatives can drive tangible change in communities. The conversation also emphasized the importance of cross-sector partnerships, mentorship, and the role of digital transformation in shaping equitable opportunities for all.

The event also featured a photo exhibition tracing more than thirty years of UN–Georgia partnership. Through a series of powerful images, the exhibition illustrated the UN’s contribution to development and people's well-being, offering a visual record of shared progress and collaboration.

As part of the commemoration, the Tbilisi TV Tower was illuminated in UN blue, a symbolic gesture organized by the UN in Georgia with support from the Tbilisi Mayor’s Office.
