Restart Ijevan for the sake of youth empowerment. Law “On Higher Education” for students

In the summer of 2022, the “Level Up youth empowerment camp,” initiated by “Restart Ijevan” scientific and educational NGO, was launched, which united around 50 young people of Tavush Region. The purpose of the “Level Up Youth Empowerment Camp” program was to support the implementation of changes in student self-government provided by the new law “On Higher Education” in Tavush region to contribute to the formation of alternative student groups.

About 80 participants applied for the project. About 50 young people from different settlements of Tavush Region were given the opportunity to participate in the project.

The participants worked in four teams. During the camp phase, the teams developed and presented 10 program proposals, and the best 4 initiatives would be selected and financed by the organization already in the post-camp phase. The camp routine was also filled with team building, intellectual, sports, and leisure activities.

Through this program, “Restart Ijevan” also prepares young people for the changes in student self-government envisaged by the new law “On Higher Education.”
