VivaCell MTS and the Children of Armenia Fund (COAF) helped realize a
long-expected dream of Arteni's schoolchildren. The Arteni School's
elementary wing officially reopened after a significant capital
renovation. VivaCell-MTS provided AMD 7 mln for the establishment
of a technology classroom, Creativity Lab, which will be used by all
students. COAF renovated the rest of the classrooms and installed a
tooth brushing station, Brushadrom, the press service of COAF said.
The Creativity Lab features a smart board, modern computers, as well
as mobile furniture adaptable for working individually, in small or
large groups. The Lab provides a multifunctional environment fit for
classes, training sessions, lectures, reading, discussions, projects
and games, performances and fun.
This is the second Creativity Lab established as part of
COAF-VivaCell-MTS partnership, the first one being launched in
September 2013 in Sardarapat community located in Armavir region.
"By providing the village school with innovative tools encouraging
creativity we want to help them reveal and develop skills and
knowledge. We have to grow up knowledgeable generation, and in this
regard it's very important to ensure that there is no gap between
village and town schools," VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian
stated.
In the words of Anoush Yedigaryan, COAF Executive Director, "the
concept of Creativity Labs was first introduced in Armenia by COAF
and has been widely acclaimed as a cutting-edge means of providing
an optimal learning and creative environment. Given the need in
Arteni, we decided to build on this cooperation with our partner
VivaCell-MTS and capitally renovate the Elementary School wing. This
was made possible through the generous donation of long-standing
COAF benefactors Mr. & Mrs. Noubar and Anna Afeyan. The newly opened
Creativity Lab and Elementary School wing will provide contemporary
educational opportunities to the younger generation."
The Arteni School is COAF's seventh rural school and eighteenth
building to have undergone capital renovation since 2004. Starting
today, close to 100 elementary schoolchildren and 15 primary school
teachers will enjoy safe and nurturing classroom conditions and
benefit from a learning environment equipped with bright classrooms,
indoor lavatories and running water, a central heating system and
a Brushadrom.
