ARMENIAN YOUTH AND TEACHERS' CONFERENCE TO BE ORGANIZED IN ANTELIAS THIS SUMMER
A conference of teachers of Armenian Language, Armenian history and religion
will be convened in the Catholicosate of Cilicia in Antelias on July 17-19
on the initiative of the Catholicosate's Armenological-educational
department.
The "Armenian Education Today" conference convened in Antelias in 2004 had
decided to continue discussions on issues and concerns related to Armenian
education with further depth and professionalism and to devise projects in
line with these discussions.
The Armenian school, with its mission of formation-both of people and
Armenians- is one of the important fields of the Catholicosate of Cilicia's
mission. With this in mind, Catholicos Aram I continues organizing
initiatives, in cooperation with the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation's
Armenian Department, that bring to the fore issues related to the Armenian
school.
It is in this context that the conference of Armenian history, Armenian
Language and religion teachers will be convened as a follow-up the above
mentioned pan-Diaspora conference four years ago. The conference will
comprehensively discuss issues related to all three subjects: language,
methodology, teachers, textbooks, curriculum, etc. Teachers in these
subjects in Armenian schools throughout the Diaspora will participate in the
conference. Those interested can contact the director of the Catholicosate
of Cilicia's Armenological-Educational Department, Mr. Sarkis Giragossian.
On August 14-16, 2008 a pan-Diaspora youth conference will be held in
Antelias. The conference was planned two years ago but was postponed at the
time due to the unstable political situation in Lebanon. Under the theme
"The Armenian youth in front of the challenges of the 21st century" the
conference will feature lectures, round tables and group discussions. Over
100 youths from the various Dioceses of the Catholicosate of Cilicia will
participate in the conference. Those interested can contact the director of
the Catholicosate's Youth Department, Rev. Father Sahag Yemishian.
