Teacher of the Year

Life in village of Chibati

The life may seem to have faded amongst everyday troubles and needs in the municipal village of Chibati. What brings this unusual sparkle and so much color to their everyday life? People. Thinking of Lado Apkhazava, our protagonist, teaming up with his students. The people who motivate and are creators of the beautiful moments in Chibati.


Chibati is the village in the west of Georgia, somewhere in the vicinity of the east Black Sea Coast. Growing up in these places, the teacher has always had a wish to make a difference in his community in general, and in teaching new approaches in particular. He is the one who never gives up searching for the interesting findings, and tries to focus on the process of education from different perspectives. The students with their teacher are looking for new principles of thinking, learning refreshed skills of expression. They are being as creative as they can possibly be, and as supportive to their community, as one can think of. We see Lado Apkhazava moving around the village riding a bicycle. Bicycle is not just a vehicle for him, but it is a lifestyle, a part of his character that symbolizes inventiveness, movement and progress.
