Integration in Georgian society is successfully held of the volunteer English language teachers who have arrived in Georgia in the scope of the program Teach And Learn With Georgia. Volunteer teachers give classes as well as plan and carry out joint cognitive-enjoyable events along with the schoolchildren and teachers.

By the initiative of volunteer teacher, Yan Hansen, who works at Martvili Public School #1, American teachers arrived in Martvili from different regions of Georgia and played friendly match in football.
