On July 31 teenagers and teachers who participated in the international
camp "Let's Learn Tolerance through English" met with Her Excellency
Marie L. Yovanovitch, U.S. Ambassador to Armenia. The Camp, in which
15 Armenian, 19 Turkish and 10 American students age 14-17 took part,
was implemented July 19-31 in Canakkale with the support of the US
Embassies in Armenia and Turkey.
The participation of the 15 Armenian students (plus 3 Armenian
teachers) was organized by "The Future is Yours" NGO. The aim of
the camp was to help the students and teachers to communicate across
cultural boundaries and understand each other better. For that purpose,
they engaged in interactive programs using multi-cultural literature
from the United States to teach English.
Students were given opportunities to learn English and learn about
each other's respective cultures. Different interactive events,
English language courses, and intercultural meetings were organized
for the students. The Armenian participants presented their Armenian
culture through dances, a performance and a presentation. They had
an opportunity to visit Troy, Asos and Gelibolu (Edirne) during their
stay in Turkey.
