    Today UN Corner was launched at the Armenian State Pedagogical
    University, and students, university professors and journalists learned
    more about the use and importance of the Spanish Language at the UN
    during the observation of the Spanish Language Day in Armenia.

    The events were organized by the UN Department of Public Information
    jointly with the Armenian State Pedagogical University.

    More than 1000 UN publications and multimedia materials which were
    provided by the UN for the UN Corner will serve to further educate
    youth on UN values and UN functioning. The professors and students
    of the university will also use the UN Corner to organize UN-related
    cultural and educational events.

    The UN Corner was opened in accordance with a Plan for Cooperation
    between UN Department of Public Information and the Armenian State
    Pedagogical University, which was signed at the ceremony.

    "We highly appreciate our cooperation and are happy to implement
    joint activities, which allow youth to be involved in the UN work
    and to provide their contribution to the sustainable development and
    Armenian's achievement of the Millennium Development Goals", said Ara
    Eremyan, the vice-rector of the Armenian State Pedagogical University.

    During the Spanish Language Day at the UN event the audience enjoyed
    some Hispanic dances, flamenco and spiritual music. The students
    from the Yerevan State Pedagogical University made presentations on:
    "Spanish Language in the World and in Armenia". In the meantime,
    a number of UN publications were distributed to the students and
    professors of the University from the Bibliobus of the National
    Library.

    The UN Department of Public Information Representative in Armenia,
    Maria Dotsenko said: "It is important that Armenians learn Spanish,
    which helps them to open the borders to the diversity of Hispanic
    culture and to be citizens of the world. We live in a multilingual
    world where the languages we speak, read or write affect the way
    we think and act, and help to better understand how crucial the
    multilingualism of the UN is for the implementation of its complex
    agenda: promotion of peace, diversity, cross-cultural dialogue and
    partnerships towards better human development".

    Ambassador of Argentina, Diego Ernesto Alvarez Rivera, spoke about
    contribution of the Spanish Language to the promotion of UN agenda
    and encouraged youth to further study it.
