IDeA Foundation comprising the family, friends and partners and
supporters of famous businessman and benefactor Ruben Vardanyan
decided to support Wikimedia Armenia NGO, the Foundation's press
service reports.
Under the agreement signed in early August, IDeA Foundation supports
Wikimedia Armenia projects aimed at promoting Wiki-projects in
Syunik and Tavush marzes and involving young people from regions
into the projects of Free Encyclopedia. The goal of the cooperation
is qualitative and quantitative expansion of resources of Wikipedia
in the Armenian language.
"Strategic charitable initiatives aimed at developing education and
tourism, preserving national traditions and spiritual rebirth are
implemented under the aegis of IDeA Foundation. In this context, we
think development of Armenian-language Wikipedia important for the
worthy presentation of the Armenian heritage", said the Chairman of
IDeA Foundation Ruben Vardanyan.
President of Wikimedia Armenia NGO Susanna Lazarian noted that
"over the short period of cooperation with IDeA Foundation a seminar
was organized in Goris within "Wiki loves Monuments" program and the
young participants acquired skills of working in Wiki-projects and as
a result, the Free Encyclopedia was enriched with photos and articles
about Syunik and Tavush."
It's no mere chance that Tavush and Syunik marzes were chosen: IDeA
Foundation implements large-scale charity projects in these regions -
Dilijan International School and "Tatev's Rebirth."
On October 5-6, "WikiConference Yerevan 2013" will be held in
the American University of Armenia where the achievements of the
Armenian Wiki-community over the recent year will be summed up and
new approaches for development of Wiki-projects and free content will
be worked out.
IDeA Foundation (Initiatives for Development of Armenia) implements
strategic charitable initiatives for Armenia, Artsakh and Armenian
Diaspora. The projects are aimed at preservation, rebirth and
international recognition of national, spiritual and historical
heritage, development of education, cultural enrichment and enhancement
of competitiveness of the nation. IDeA was set up by RVVZ Foundation
which was co-founded by Ruben Vardanyan and Veronika Zonabend.
