    EU Centre launches EU Alumni Network

    16:01 09.11.2013
    Armenia, EU


    The official founding meeting of the EU Alumni Network was held on
    Saturday, 9 November 2013 at the EU Centre. The EU Alumni Network will
    unite the previous participants of the European educational programmes
    in Armenia.

    The Deputy Head of Operations of the Delegation of the European Union
    to Armenia Jose Maria Medina Navarro noted that EU Alumni Network aims
    to use education as a powerful communication channel to help spread
    information on EU educational programmes. `Real success stories of the
    graduates of the EU educational programmes will bring about
    significantly greater interest in the students,' Jose Maria Medina
    Navarro said.

    According to the Coordinator of the National Tempus Office in Armenia
    Lana Karlova, there is a need to unite different organisations and
    educational communities to create an environment that will essentially
    improve integration of Armenian educational system into the European
    educational area. `It is very important for the newly established
    network to serve as an effective tool to reinforce efforts of
    different European educational programmes in Armenia that provide
    young people with new educational opportunities' Lana Karlova said.

    The Coordinator of Armenian Lifelong Learning League Edith Soghomonyan
    mentioned that EU Alumni Network can become the best platform for
    increasing public awareness on learning opportunities. `We believe
    that Lifelong Learning can unite all independent efforts in education
    and training into a strong system working for personal, professional
    and civic development of every citizen' Edith Soghomonyan concluded.

    Prior to the launch event the representatives of several non-profit
    organisations and learning communities reached an agreement on
    establishing the EU Alumni Network. It will foster the involvement of
    young people in the European educational programmes at different
    levels in formal education, non-formal and informal learning
    activities providing them with information, support and guidance.

    The EU Centre is the main feature of the EU funded project `Support to
    the EU communication on reforms in Armenia'. Its goal is to raise
    awareness on EU development cooperation in Armenia and support
    education on the European Union. The centre's website is a gateway to
    EU cooperation with Armenia. The duration of the project is two years
    and it is implemented by GOPA-Cartermill S.A in consortium with Altair
    Asesores and Fainberg LLC.
