A classroom meeting all the requirements of a modern educational
environment opened today in Lernagog, Armavir marz. The Children of
Armenia Fund (COAF) supported this imitative that has already received
the name Creativity Lab. The facility represents a spacious sunlit
room that accommodates 40-50 children. Its mobile furniture can be
rearranged in a way that allows for individual, au pair and group work.
The Creativity Lab also boasts 16 computers and bookshelves with
modern design. These features create a multifunctional environment
that makes possible different work formats including discussion and
lecture, reading and playing, performances and rest.
Present at the opening ceremony was the Armavir marzpet Ashot
Ghahramanyan. The representative of of the National Center of
Educational Technologies handed an award to Lernagog school student
Hasmik Stepanyan, the winner of the republican photo contest.
Speaking of the concept of the Creativity Lab, Serob Khachatryan,
COAF director, noted, "Today's students do not favor monotonous and
boring classes. In this respect the appealing school environment can
be a significant incentive for diversifying learning activities."
The principal of Lernagog school emphasized that the idea of the
creative learning environment was suggested by the school teachers
and thanked Children of Armenia Fund for making it happen.
Around 20,000 USD was invested into the establishment of the Creativity
Lab through contributions from a number of COAF benefactors including
Daniel and Mila Sahakyans and Gregory and Marian Saraydaryans. Mr. and
Ms. Saraydaryans were present at the opening of the classroom that
bears their name. The computers and educational posters placed in
