The western Georgian town of Kutaisi has opened its doors to the country’s second ‘paternity school’.
Bringing together men who either have or are expecting children, the Fathers’ School helps male parents develop and improve parenting skills.
UNFPA Georgia has tweeted:

To learn more about parenting, the participants of the programme will receive answers from professional podiatrists, gynaecologists, psychologists and other health experts.
