KAPAN, JUNE 25, NOYAN TAPAN. On the initiative of the Women’s
Republican Council’s Kapan branch, with the sponsorship of the OSCE
Yerevan Office and OSCE Office of Syunik Programs Development, the
4th educational stage of School of Young Leaders started in Kapan. It
will last for a month. This time 29 schoolchildren of different ages,
who have been able to pass the test, will study at the school.

Sven Holdar, Democratization Officer at the OSCE Yerevan Office,
addressing his good wishes to the youths during the solemn opening
of the school, attached importance to their role in the issue of
building a democratic society.

As school headmaster Susanna Martirosian said, though the school
is guided by a clear-cut program, the program has been localized to
some extent this year. "We wish to draw attention to environmental
protection issues, as they exist both in Kapan and in the region in
general. Children should try to contribute to solution of region’s
environmental problems as far as possible, to put forward new ideas
and proposals," the headmaster said.
