ASCP Awards Over 20,000 in Small Grants
Project Harmony-Armenia is pleased to announce the winners of the Armenia
School Connectivity Program’s Small Grants Program 2006-2007.
Project Harmony selected twenty-seven out of ninety-one proposals from all
eleven regions of Armenia. The competition was open and merit-based, and
winners were selected by a committee comprised of representatives from the
US Embassy, Harmony Information Technologies, Education Development Fund and
Project Harmony-Armenia. Many of the winning projects focus on themes
relating to raising awareness about election procedures, promotion of
democracy and civil society, strengthening of ties between schools, ICCs,
and communities, and the creation of educational resources in the Armenian
language. Projects will begin in October 2006 and continue through March
2007. The purpose of the small grants is for schools to take a lead role in
implementing online and offline activities that benefit their Internet
Computer Center, school, and community. With the transfer of the ASCP to the
Government of Armenia, it is critical that schools have the tools, skills,
and hands on experience to implement activities independently of Project
Harmony and the Government of Armenia. Below is a complete list of award
