Laboratory Equipment for M. Metsarents school: One-time project

The Children and Youth Creative Center, located in Erebuni District, Yerevan, is a creative and aesthetic education center where children and youth engage in various activities such as folk and modern dancing, singing drawing, rhythmic gymnastics, acrobatics, sculpting, beadwork, Armenian embroidery, woodcarving, carpet-making, design, pottery, sand, therapy, etc.

 Through this initiative, we aim to equip the Children and Youth Creative Center with essential items so as to facilitate the learning process in the center, promote creative education and make the facilities more modern and convenient.

Throughout the years of its operation, the Center has highly contributed to the artistic expression, the promotion of education and good values among youth. The lack of essential equipment in its facilities hinders daily operations and the organizing of various activities. The allocated money will ensure that the children of Erebuni district can learn in comfortable and engaging classrooms, where their basic needs are met.

The list of items is the following;

1.   Two printers- To effectively organize the work of the center.

2.  An air Conditioner- The conditioners will be used for the "Puppet Theater" room of the building, where regular puppet shows are held by the youth engaged in the center (room area: 40 m2)

3. A television- the TV will be placed in the waiting room to showcase parents and guests the work and various activities implemented by the Center.

4.   A high-pressure cleaner: Kärcher – The cleaner will be used for washing the carpets and windows of the center.

5.   MP3 players- The players will be used by the youth engaged in the dance club, to facilitate their dance practice lessons.
