About Georgia
Located at the crossroads between Asian and European cultures, the South Caucasus region including Georgia, holds a unique geographic, cultural and political significance. Georgia’s population is 3.9 million and it occupies the area of 67,700sq km. Development of CCIs is one of the eight priorities in the national Culture Strategy 2025. The UNESCO Culture for Development Indicators process revealed a high contribution of CCIs to economy and employment in Georgia i.e. share of culture in total output is 2.8%, which could be used as alternative figure for GDP too, involving 5.1% of the workforce in Georgia, but these figures are under-estimates, which require more detailed study. The Georgian arts scene is vibrant and provides many opportunities to develop mutually beneficial relationships internationally
