The workshop was held as part of the “Men Care” campaign and the collaboration between the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Georgia Country Office and the organization “We Care”.

UNFPA's Regional Director for Eastern Europe and Central Asia Alanna Armitage, UNFPA Representative in Turkey/Country Director of UNFPA Georgia Hassan Mohtashami and Head of UNFPA Georgia Country Office Lela Bakradze have joined the workshop.

"Luna and the Planet of Fireflies" tells the story of a family, where both parents share childcare and household responsibilities, and as a result, magic unfolds all around them.
