First stop: Shirak

These day we have training in 4 cities of Shirak and Lori Marzes, son June 29 our 2 trainers Lusine and Nvard hit the road to Artik, Shirak. We call these 2-day training sessions Knowledge and Rights, as the trainers use non-formal educational methods to give basic knowledge about human rights, tolerance, gender, democracy, civil society and other relevant topics. This year we managed to have these trainings for youth in Yerevan and we had 3 times more participants than we expected.
Now it is time to meet your in the regions (Marzes) and to conduct these training in their towns.
We had about 20 participants in Artik. What was really interesting, people said that youth is not that active in this town but we had totally different impressions, you may see it in the picture. Even Ter Levon, the priest who supported us to organize the training, noticed that participants were really excited and actively involved, and it was amazing.
So the first practice of these trainings in the regions was successful. We hope to be in touch with youth and cooperate in future.
