The Cambridge-Yerevan Sister City Association, in cooperation with
Project Harmony, invites you to welcome a team of 23 teachers from
Armenia developing online classroom projects with partners throughout
the United States.

A brief video and round-table discussion will be shown
Wednesday, March 30, at 7:30 p.m. at the Holy Trinity Armenian
Apostolic Church of Greater Boston, 145 Brattle St.

Several of the visiting Project Harmony teachers, as well as
several local teachers who have worked with Armenian counterparts,
will discuss their experiences in collaborative projects and share
their visions of what United States and Armenian educators can learn
from each other. Sharyn S. Boornazian, Ph.D., a certification officer
at Lesley University, will moderate.

Since 2000, Vermont-based Project Harmony, which implements the
Armenia School Connectivity Program, has created a network of
computer centers in more than 300 schools throughout Armenia. The
ASCP is a program of the U.S. Department of State Bureau of
Educational and Cultural Affairs.
