After publishing its environmental education curriculum, “Plant an
Idea, Plant a Tree,” for public school students, Armenia Tree Project
(ATP) sponsored a special teacher-training course to explain how to
use the teacher’s manual.
A total of 16 teachers from Yerevan and the regions of Syunik, Lori,
and Kotayk participated in the “Training of Trainers,” organized by
Dr. Gayane Ghukasyan, ATP Environmental Education Program Manager.
In his welcoming speech, ATP Director of Operations Vache
Kirakosyan emphasized the importance of teaching the environmental
education curriculum in local schools, and thanked all attendees
for participating with ATP. “Your cooperation is very important to
increase the awareness of environmental issues, specifically among
Armenia’s youth,” he stated. “As a result of our work together,
we may reap fruit in the very near future. The assistance received
from such motivated and devoted educators as yourselves is another
step toward improving the ecological situation in our country.”
