The meeting took place in the format of a discussion, which was facilitated by TMA students Mariam Kruashvili and Temiko Inasaridze.

"It was a well-organized event. An important emphasis was placed on the issue of mental health. I think that it is a difficult topic and it is necessary to discuss it. It's good that you students are talking openly about this issue and trying to help each other. Also, it is important that the university has a psychologist service to help students" - Adel Rizvi, Finnish student.
