YEREVAN, JULY 6, ARMENPRESS: Tumo Center for Creative Technologies
will open the exhibition `Textures of Yerevan' on July
6, the authors of which are the students of the Center. As Armenpress
was reported by the Tumo Center, during the fiveweek design work a
series of lectures was held, presenting to the students the theory of
the design, the development principles and the organization methods.
The participants took part in excursions to take photos of the
Yerevan's different sides - buildings, parks, architectural
monuments, sculptures, fountains, as well as the town's cultural images.
The exhibition `Textures of Yerevan' is the result of the personal and
collective efforts made by the architect, designer and artist Vazgen
Brutyan, arrived from Los Angeles, California. Vazgen Brutyan is the
founder of Archi Design Group (2001).
Tumo is a new kind of after-school learning environment where
thousands of students aged 12-18 are in charge of their own learning.
Guided by skilled educators and mentored by media professionals,
students navigate through their personal learning plans via the Tumo
World, a special learning interface that prepares them for hands-on
practice. Specialized workshops, guest lectures and community events
give students a chance to apply their knowledge and skills to the
world around them.
Tumo's leadership team is made up of highly successful industry
professionals across the entire spectrum of the center's focus areas.
Tumo students embark on their future careers armed with a broader
world view, cutting-edge experience and competitive portfolios.
The Center aims at expanding the young people's horizons and giving
them the resources to achieve their full creative potential. Tumo
aspires to motivate Armenian youth to learn, and encourage them to
create new possibilities for themselves. The Center wants to help
teenagers discover their talents and acquire the 21st century skills
they need to succeed in life. By doing so, Tumo hopes to prevent the
emigration of the most capable members or Armenia's future work force.
Tumo is a non-profit venture and participation in the Tumo program is
free of charge and open to all local teenagers. Since the opening in
September 2011, the Center has been educating thousands of teenagers
who attend on a regular basis.
Tumo was born from the imaginations of Sam and Sylva Simonian. The
Simonian Foundation fully funds the Tumo center, its programs, the
adjoining plaza, and the Tumanyan Park. The Simonians are intimately
involved at Tumo, with Sam lending his expertise on technology
and its economic impact and Sylva contributing to the Center's
engagement with the environment and the program's unique curriculum.
The latter was developed in collaboration with Tumo director Marie Lou
Papazian and Tumo board member Pegor Papazian.
