COAF and VivaCell-MTS Join Hands in Bringing New Educational Opportunities
to Vanand School
Contemporary Creativity Lab & Library/Resource Center Opened in Vanand
Community of Armavir Marz of Armenia
The Children of Armenia Fund (COAF)’s and VivaCell-MTS’s continuous
collaboration resulted in the opening of the third Creativity
Lab. Equipped with a smart board, modern computers, as well as special
mobile furniture, the newly opened Creativity Lab will host students
from the Vanand Community School in Armavir Marz of Armenia. In
addition to the Creativity Lab, a modern Library/Resource Center will
be functioning in Vanand.
The concept of Creativity Labs – technologically enhanced centers that
encourage creativity – was first introduced in Armenia by
COAF. VivaCell-MTS’s financial assistance and corporate social
responsibility component allows for these programs to create equal
development opportunities for rural communities and promote
integration of informational and communication technologies into
village schools.
The program that was launched a year ago has also been beneficial for
the schoolchildren from Sardarapat community in Armavir Marz and
Arteni community in Aragatsotn Marz. Creativity Labs provide a
multifunctional environment fit for classes, training sessions,
lectures, reading, discussions, projects and games, performances and
fun.
