Dilijan Children’s Art School summed up the past academic year. On July 4, the school’s final concert for the 2021-2022 academic year was held in Dilijan Culture House.

Dilijan Children’s Art School, named after Hovahnnes Sharambeyan, has expanded its activities in recent years, covering the rural areas of the enlarged Dilijan community. About 120 school children are included in the groups created in the rural areas.

On July 10, the “Partnership for rural prosperity in Armenia” international event with LEADER / Community-led local development methodology was launched in Dilijan. It was organized within the framework of the “Local Empowerment of Actors for Development in Lori and Tavush regions” program implemented with EU funding, in cooperation with the RA Ministries of Economy and Territorial Administration and Infrastructure.

Newly created “Local active groups” formed within the framework of the program participated in the event, presenting their local products.

The purpose of the event is to officially announce the signing of the partnership agreement about the five newly established local active groups: “Tashir +,” “Lorva Dzor,” “GanDzor,” “Aghstev Valley,” and “Tsili Tsov,” which were created within the framework of “EU Local Empowerment of Actors for Development in Lori and Tavush regions” based on LEADER / Community-led local development methodology, following the principles of territorial inclusive development and with the partnership of local public and private sector and civil society representatives.

The event was also a platform for donors, international and local partners, EU, and experts on “LEADER” rural development methodology and project implementing partners to present the project progress and next steps, panel discussions, experience exchange, and networking.

Kindergarten No 1 in Dilijan has a new playground; on June 1, on International Children’s Day, the opening ceremony of the playground took place in Kindergarten No 1 in Dilijan.

The program was implemented due to the cooperation between Focus on Children Now Charitable Organization and Dilijan Municipality. Dilijan Municipality also supported the program of installing the playground in the amount of 10 % of the total cost of the program, which was paid from the community budget. 

The children of the kindergarten had prepared a beautiful event ahead of the playground opening, in line with the theme of the day.

For many years, the Focus on Children Now Charitable Organization has been involved in furnishing kindergartens in the RA and Artsakh, providing healthy food for preschoolers, and building playgrounds. Such kindergartens were also built in other communities of Tavush region. 

The next roundtable discussion topic in the Discussion on Tavush TV series Is on your screens.

Physical education as an integral part of general education, aims at the multifaceted development of the person, physical improvement, and the establishment of a healthy lifestyle.

Dilijan Geological Museum was crowded on April 26. Dilijan Central School organized an Exhibition of Art projects. The works created by the students during the classes of fine arts taught at Central School were presented at the exhibition.

Design project teacher at Dilijan Central School Hasmik Soghomonyan says, “For two years now, our school has been conducting project-based learning, and in the case of art subjects, children should choose which subject they want to study. I think it is a wonderful opportunity for free choice, and it can also be used for their professional orientation in the future.”

The students chose the version of the design work, then the topic, and created within that framework. Both people from Dilijan and foreign guests were present at the exhibition. 

Art design enables the students to express themselves and create through art, discovering their talents.

The director of Dilijan Central School, Naira Daluzyan, presented the one-year process of reaching this exhibition, “In September, we offered children five different branches of art and children themselves chose which branch of art they want to do this year. The groups were recruited from 7th, 8th, and 9th-grade students. The condition was that all the students should choose a branch of art. They have been working for two years and today is the exhibition of their works: we have performance arts, music, as well as fine arts and design.”

In Tavush TV, we have again gathered around the discussion table. This time the topic is culture. The guests are the director of Berd Culture House, Armen Meliqyan, the director of Dilijan Art School after Hovhannes Sharamberyan Hreghen Gasparyan, and the organizer of Berdavan Culture House, Ani Hakhverdyan.
