PAN-DIASPORA YOUTH CONFERENCE OPENS IN ANTELIAS
Young Armenians from around the world gathered in the summer headquarters of
the Catholicosate of Cilicia on Thursday to inaugurate the youth conference
organized by the Catholicosate's youth department.
Held under the auspices of His Holiness Aram I, the conference convenes
under the theme "The Armenian youth in the face of the challenges of the
21st century." It will feature lectures by the President of Haigazian
University, Rev. Dr. Paul Haidostian, Lecturer at the University of Geneva,
Dr. Joe Pirri, historian Garo Hovhannesian and other prominent
intellectuals.
A committee responsible for organizing the conference limited the number of
participants- young Armenians from communities worldwide- to 110 to ensure
the effectiveness of discussions and a result-oriented conference.
The delegates will discuss serious issues affecting the Armenian youth today
through a series of lectures and group discussions over the next three days.
Community representatives will convene round tables on previously assigned
topics, following which small groups will discuss the issues at hand in
depth and present summaries of their conclusions.
The conference will be a podium to shed light on the concerns and conflicts
that Armenian youth face in present times particularly in the Diaspora. All
the proposals made by the conference will be passed on to His Holiness who
will take them into consideration while formulating the Catholicosate's
future projects and table them for discussion by National General Assembly
to be held in early December this year.
