  • An intensive university diploma programme designed for Western Armenian teachers in the Armenian Diaspora, certified by the National Institute of Oriental Languages and Civilisations (INALCO), Paris.

Children and young adults will participate in various age appropriate activities. These will include music, performing arts, self-expression, visual and audiovisual arts, crafts sessions, creative writing and literature reading workshops, outdoor games, field trips and much more! All activities will be conducted in Armenian and led by a team of talented expert facilitators.

Zarmanazan is open to all children and young adults in the Armenian Diaspora. The number of spaces is limited.
