The partnership between the National Trust of Georgia and Tushetian Brand has been successfully ongoing since 2023. Through this collaboration, around fifteen students have already mastered the technical basics of performing on Tushetian folk instruments.

A joint cultural event was also held, featuring Tushetian music performed by students from all branches of the House of Folklore. The event brought together music, traditional crafts, Tushetian cuisine, a documentary film screening, and a photo exhibition.

This experience clearly demonstrated that collaboration with the National Trust of Georgia creates new opportunities for the promotion of Tushetian folklore and the musical education of young people.
Both organizations will continue working together in this direction in the future.
