YEREVAN, JULY 28, ARMENPRESS: "Community Youth Policy" project will be
conducted in the town of Sevan the main goal of which is to promote
the participation of young people on community levels. The project
has been approved still a year ago by the Council of Elders of Sevan
and will soon launch.
CEO of the "Powerful Society" Foundation, member of the prime
minister-affiliated national youth policy council Ashot Hakobyan
told Armenpress that one of the prior steps of the program is to
gather the active young people of the community - creating a youth
initiative team and an affiliated program of actions.
"In our country and particularly in provinces, unfortunately, the young
people are more passive and see the country's governance processes
outside of them. In this direction serious steps are being undertaken
by the Armenian government," Ashot Hakobyan said. As a result of the
program the community has a youth policy adopted by the Council of
Elders and a program of actions - as a part of the strategic program
of the community. The project is being implemented not only in Sevan,
but in Hrazdan where it has been worked out recently and sent to the
approval of the Council of Elders.
"Young people are voicing community issues which need to be solved and
then in a project present the solutions to the issues," the CEO of the
foundation said, adding that the project presented by the young people
is being put to public discussion at a forum with the participation of
the Council of Elders of the community, community office, different
enterprises, civic society and mass media representatives. After
implementing the suggestions received at the forum, the document is
being finalized and presented for the approval of the Council of Elders
as a part of the strategic program of development of the community.
