Students Visited the Parliament of Georgia as Part of the Educational Program

Students of the Faculty of Law and International Relations of the Georgian Technical University visited the Parliament of Georgia as part of an educational initiative organized by the Head of the Department of Criminal Law, Professor Jemal Janashia, and Professor Nino Gogniashvili.

During the visit, students familiarized themselves with the activities of the Parliament, the legislative process, and the history of Georgian parliamentarism. They also toured the Shota Rustaveli and Queen Tamar halls, where committee and plenary sessions of the First Republic were held, and visited the Museum of Parliamentarism and its historical exhibits.

According to the head of the Department of Criminal Law, Faculty of Law and International Relations, Professor Jemal Janashia, study visits to legislative institutions provide students with the opportunity to complement their theoretical knowledge with practical experience related to the functioning of state institutions, legal procedures, and parliamentary processes, thereby contributing to the development of their professional skills and academic growth.

“The legal and legislative process is not limited to theoretical knowledge acquired in the classroom. The modern academic environment requires students to develop a practical understanding of the activities of state institutions, directly observe legal and parliamentary processes, and analyze the principles upon which democratic governance and the rule of law are based. This was precisely the purpose of our students’ study visit to the Parliament of Georgia.

It is important to us that young people develop a deep understanding of the history of Georgian parliamentarism, appreciate the significance of the legislative process, and recognize the institutional development of the state. Such visits allow students to connect theoretical knowledge with a real-world practical environment, which is an essential part of their professional and academic development. It is especially noteworthy that the students visited the Museum of Parliamentarism and became acquainted with the historical heritage reflecting the development of our country’s statehood and legal culture.”
