| Our projects in 2023 Reading Hubs This project aims to create six community reading hubs in rural areas of the Lori region with low/no access to early years educational provision. 80 children aged three to five will be engaged in creatively facilitated reading hubs twice a week for four hours; the hubs will develop their love of reading, socioemotional skills, reading motivation and comprehension in a safe and child- centred learning environment. In partnership withNorArar,an educational charity specialising in literacy, we will recruit and train six community reading facilitators with a passion for reading, to deliver unique early years reading curriculum. The project implementation will require the acquisition of books and the training of local teachers/librarians. Engage & Empower Project Engage & Empower is a program of safe, fun and engaging after- school clubs where children learn through experiences. The project is targeting disadvantaged and remote schools that have previously benefited from book donations and the Goris community centre. We will provide the necessary supplies and local teachers to run a variety of free after-school clubs: foreign language learning, arts and crafts creations, science experiments or sports clubs. We believe after-school clubs provide a space for children to engage in situations where they put into practice core skills such as critical thinking, public speaking and confidence building. This project aims to empower rural children to think positively to overcome obstacles and achieve their own goals. A pilot club is already running in a small rural school in the Syunik region where children attend the English language club. This is an opportunity for 13 to 15 years old from the school to develop their communication and organisational skills through discussions and presentations. |

One school library a month project
This project is driven by the necessity to close the educational gap between urban and rural areas of Armenia. We aim to create easy access to books in disadvantaged schools in an effort to support literacy skills building and engage children to develop their curiosity and critical thinking.
To achieve this goal, we have partnered with Teach for Armenia to identify schools in need of engaging library books. Each month, we work with a school community to provide a range of fiction and nonfiction books to boost their library stock.
With a £200 budget per school library per month, we can buy a stock of modern extracurricular books managed by a TeacherLeader. Together with the teachers, we handpick each book according to novelty, popularity and subject-based books complementing lessons.
We kickstarted the project this month with our first school library beneficiary:
Zangakatun Middle School and its 150 pupils in the Ararat region are about to receive book donations to replenish its library.
