Launch of the ""Entanik" on Wheels" Educational Program

On June 27, the first phase of the educational project "Entanik on Wheels" was launched at the Gyumri "Entanik" Youth Creative Center under the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Armenia. A total of 19 educators from mountainous and border communities (Karakert in Armavir Province; Beniamin, Kamo, Horom, Nor Kyanq, Shirak, Sarnaghbyur, and Saratag in Shirak Province) participated in the 5-day training courses.

The objective of the educational program was to emphasize the role of extracurricular education and to promote the revitalization of cultural and educational life in local communities through training courses and practical sessions.

Key Components & Activities:

  • Theoretical Instruction: Participants were introduced to the significance and key challenges of extracurricular education, methods of individualized and differentiated teaching, as well as the activities of specialized clubs at the center.

  • Community Research & Planning: Educators studied techniques for conducting community research, identifying the educational and developmental needs of teenagers, and designing educational action plans and thematic syllabi.

  • Practical Training: In addition to theoretical lectures, teachers participated in hands-on workshops across various clubs at the center.

The initiative concluded with a round-table discussion featuring the management and staff of the "Entanik" Center alongside the participating educators. The teachers highly praised the center's efforts in engaging youth, providing education, and discovering talented students. They welcomed the concept of collaborating with remote and border communities, noting that addressing meaningful youth engagement directly supports local community development.

At the closing, Director of the "Entanik" Center, A. Minasyan, congratulated the participants and awarded them certificates of completion. The educators expressed strong enthusiasm and a clear desire to make the program ongoing, long-term, and expanded in scope.
