“YOUTH AND CONSTRUCTION OF CIVIL SOCIETY” PROGRAM IMPLEMENTED IN 9 SCHOOLS OF ARMENIA

YEREVAN, December 6 (Noyan Tapan). The “Youth and Construction of
Civil Society” program has been implemented in 2 schools of Yerevan,
as well as Armavir and Kotayk regions since October 15 2004. This
program of the European Integration NGO is implemented with financing
of Fridrich Ebert Fund and Antares Media Holding. This is the second
program of the kind. In difference to the previous one, the regional
schools were included into this program for the first time. The first
program including 3 Yerevan schools started on April 10 and will end
at the end of 2004. According to Karen Bekarian, Chairman of the
organization, the program consists of several stages. During each
stage the pupils are taught the subject planned for the stage by an
interactive method. At the end of the stage a joint competition of
groups is organized. In K.Bekarian’s estimation, the lectures extend
the pupils’ knowledge about the state, law, public and international
structures. K.Bekarian mentioned that the European Integration
cooperates with other RA higher schools, as well, as a result of which
the “European Integration and International Structures” course of
lectures is held in the Armenian-Russian University. It’s envisaged to
carry out this course of lectures in another 6 higher schools, as well.
