Armenian Identity, History & Contemporary Armenia։ A journey through time and space.

Heritage Studies is a professional, expert-designed cultural education program for Diaspora students who confidently speak, read, and write Armenian and wish to deepen their knowledge of Armenian heritage, history, geography, literature, and modern Armenian life.

The course is designed as an intellectual and cultural journey through time and space, a discovery of Armenia, the land of secrets.

Traveling across the regions of the Republic of Armenia and the Republic of Artsakh, students explore their colors, songs, traditions, art, dialects, and landscapes. Along the way, they encounter great historical figures who lived long before us learning their stories, understanding their choices, and uncovering the messages they left behind.

This journey is not only about discovering Armenia.

It is also about discovering oneself.

The program helps students develop self-awareness, pride, and a deeper emotional connection to their Homeland — not as an abstract idea, but as a living and evolving country.

“Armenian Studies for Teenagers”: An Educational Support Program for Armenian Diaspora Schools

The course, designed for youth aged 14 and older, is a unique journey not only through time and space, but also a path toward self-discovery.

"Armenian Studies for Teenagers" is not just a study of Armenia as an object, but a guide to shaping one’s own identity. By learning about Armenia—its history, culture, nature, language, and art—participants begin to see their inner world in a new light, build self-awareness, and develop holistic thinking.

During this course, fundamental knowledge is formed by weaving together information and developing skills, making learning practical and tangible, meaningful and engaging. This not only stimulates intellectual growth but also shapes thoughtful, reflective, and independent individuals.

• Study the elements of national identity, attempting to find their own place within modern Armenian reality.

Methodological Description

How can the learning process be transformed into a journey that develops the student’s cognitive skills?

The demands and guiding questions lead us toward research and then strategy development, since it is not enough simply to present accessible content. Information today is easily available to students through the internet or books. The essential task is to teach students how to learn, apply, and critically evaluate that information.

Teachers must organize learning with methods that make the student an active participant in the process. New material should be learned not through direct instruction, but through the teacher’s guidance.

Research results lead us to an important conclusion: if we want to develop cognitive abilities—perception, reasoning, and memory—students must be given the opportunity to process information through their own subjective perspective and transform it into knowledge.

Our lessons are built on the principle of developing cognitive abilities and are structured in three stages:

• The student perceives and receives new material.
• The student applies what they have learned / reflects on it.
• The student transforms the new material into knowledge, embedding it into long-term memory.

Materials Students Will Need:

• Dictionary
• Workbook
• Pen
• Pencils

Each program lesson includes:

• Lesson material (slideshow)
• Written teaching guide (for the teacher)
• Video teaching guide (for the teacher)
• Practical activities for students
• Homework for students
