April 02, 2013 | 13:25
The plans of the Armenian General Benevolent Union (AGBU) to create a
cultural, educational and artistic complex in Stepanakert - the AGBU
NKR Campus - are underway.
Last October, on the occasion of AGBU's 87th General Assembly in
Yerevan, a new AGBU educational and cultural initiative was announced
by Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) President Bako Sahakyan and AGBU
President Berge Setrakian.
This dynamic initiative will provide new and innovative opportunities
to the scholastically diverse urban and rural communities throughout
NKR. The Center will serve students of all ages, Members of Parliament,
Government officials and other entities, and offer courses in English
language improvement, preparatory classes for university entrance
exams, and creative and media technologies (animation, video game
design, web development and more). In addition, classes in music,
management, tourism development and more will be offered.
AGBU President Berge Setrakian remarked, "AGBU is pleased to announce
the latest AGBU program in Nagorno Karabakh. We are convinced that
education and culture are key factors in the development of any
nation. The AGBU NKR Campus will become a hub of learning activity that
will provide people of all ages in Nagorno Karabakh new opportunities."
President Sahakyan commended AGBU for making education in Karabakh
a priority.
To realize this ambitious initiative, AGBU signed an agreement with
the American University of Armenia (AUA) in February, to develop a
Continuing Education Program (CEP), through its Extension Program.
This program will begin operations in April 2013 at a temporary
location while the AGBU NKR Campus is being built in Stepanakert and
it is expected to serve several hundred students. AGBU has committed
to supporting the CEP in the amount of $575,000, over the course of
five years.
