PILOTING OF EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AT THE AGMI FOUNDATION Piloting of Educatıonal Programs at the AGMI Foundatıon On February 26, the first day of pilot educational meeting took place at Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute Foundation. The program was attended by the students of the 8th grade of “Usum” school. The students visited the Genocide Museum and got acquainted with the history of the Armenian Genocide through a specifically prepared presentation.

At the AGMI Conference Hall the students participated in an interactive lecture with newly developed methodology, delivered by Seda Parsamyan, a researcher at the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute Foundation. The topic of a lecture was “The Significance of Self-Defense Battles in the Formation of Value System in Teenagers”.

During the lecture a video testimony of a survivor of Musa Dagh self-defense battle was used. The students were assigned a task to present their impressions after the visit to the museum and the training. The students’ descriptions of their impressions will be examined; relevant conclusions will be made and included in the development of the methodology for the educational program.

The students who were enriched with new knowledge and information went away with the expectation of a new meeting.

Taking into account the complexity and diversity of the topic presentation, the AGMI Department of Educational Programs and its Coordinator Kristine Najaryan has developed special methodology training.
