What we do / Our Projects
2016 was dedicated to the quality enhancement of our organisation. Particularly, we took part in the following projects:

- “Strong Civil Society Organisations for Stronger Armenia” EU-funded long-term project in Armenia.
- “Organization of training — aimed at the development of abilities and skills of youth NGOs” project implemented by the Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs of the Republic of Armenia.
In 2017, we undertook organizing educational projects for youngsters in the fields of Art and Human Rights using the skills and methodologies gained also during the projects of the previous year. The major examples are:
- TC “MovieDoc” in Armenia, where 1 participant from each country (8 countries) was with autism and they together made 7 short documentaries.
- YE “Imagine Rhythm” in Switzerland where 19 Armenian participants, including 8 youngsters with hearing impairment, with German and Swiss participants staged a dance and performed in Zurich city center.

youth opportunities. We’ve co-organized also a project in Luxembourg called “DocuSpeech against Hate Speech” the second part of which took place in Armenia in 2019.
