The projects that won the Eduthon are being implemented in Armenia

A role-playing game on citizenship education, discussion of a code of ethics for local self-government employees, involvement of youth in environmental protection – read what else Armenian activists have already done.

A role-playing board game called the Council of Elders has been created and published as part of the Armenia for Armenia project. Two copies of the game have been printed so far.

The first meeting with young people aged 16 to 25 took place in the Amasia community of Shirak Marz. During this meeting, participants learned about civic education and discussed hate speech, human rights, good behavior, and the importance of free speech.

Participants had the opportunity to play a board game in the second part of the meeting. Each person chose a role, and the theme of the game was “Ani’s Community Garbage Collection.” The participants engaged enthusiastically throughout both the meeting and the game.

Information videos are currently being edited. The next meetings are scheduled in Gyumri, Vanadzor, and Ijevan.

Members of the Code of Ethics Local Self-Governing Body project have reached an agreement with the representatives from the Pambak and Tumanyan communities concerning the development of ethics regulations. 

They held discussions with council members and community leaders from both Pambak and Tumanyan to go over the provisions of the document.

The group discussed the ethical norms for municipal servants, the Code of Ethics for Members of the Council of Elders, how the Ethics Commission should be formulated, and how it should operate. A follow-up bilateral meeting is scheduled to finalize the document.

The Herbarium project team has begun active research on the herbs and mushrooms of the Lori region. The goal of the project is to explore and showcase the rich environment of this area to young people through photographs and discussions about upcoming environmental issues. 

The team organized several hiking in the mountains of Lori, capturing photos of various herbs and mushrooms that are in demand and at risk of being included in the Armenian Red Book as an endangered species.

The group has printed materials and scheduled appointments with specialists to discuss environmental issues at the upcoming event. The team is preparing to show up all the job done in the upcoming exhibition – event. 

The EENCE-Eduthon-2024 is organised by the Eastern European Association for Citizenship Education with the support of the Federal Agency for Civic Education (bpb) at the expense of the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
