SES 2026 Ambassador
Lia Kvaratskhelia
Student of International Relations and Political Science; WFD Youth Delegate’24 🇫🇷
I am currently a student of international relations in Georgia with a strong interest in diplomacy, sustainability, and civic engagement. As part of my studies, I also had the opportunity to participate in an Erasmus+ exchange mobility in Italy. My background combines local engagement and international collaboration – from volunteering with refugee communities to amplifying the voices of underrepresented youth as a delegate to the World Forum for Democracy at the Council of Europe. I believe change begins where empathy meets action, and I am especially interested in community-based efforts that help people take the lead in creating sustainable futures.
Over the past year, I have been part of different youth-led initiatives that focus on volunteering, awareness campaigns, and cross-cultural learning. To be more particular, these include teaching refugee youth, co-leading discussions on social issues, and participating in Erasmus+ projects on an international level. One of the most meaningful projects I contributed to was the Avoidable Disaster Deaths Awareness Campaign — particularly a youth-led documentary. It focused on disaster risks that impact different communities across Georgia and offered a global perspective on how these challenges connect worldwide. As a result, it was later recognized by the University of Kansas and the University of Leicester.
