    A PAN-ARMENIAN CONFERENCE
    ON ARMENIAN EDUCATION
    IN ANTELIAS



    ANTELIAS, LEBANON - With the initiative of the Armenian Catholicosate of
    Cilicia a major conference will take place on Armenian education from 5-7
    August 2004 in Antelias, Lebanon. The conference will deal with a number of
    issues and challenges, pertaining to Armenian education in the Diaspora.

    The main subject of discussion will be the Armenian School and the way the
    Armenian education is organized and provided in the daily schools. This will
    include textbooks, Armenian courses, the curriculum, the status of teacher,
    pedagogical methodologies, extra-curriculum activities, etc.

    The conference will also attempt to look at the Armenian formation in a
    broader context by dealing with the ways the new generation is formed
    through the church, the family, clubs, organizations, etc. What does it mean
    to be Armenian in a Diaspora situation? What kind of Armenian should we form
    to confront the new challenges, risks and hopes of new times, and how such
    an Armenian must be prepared? These and related questions will be seriously
    addressed by the conference which will bring together about 70 selected and
    experienced educators and intellectuals from different parts of the Armenian
    Diaspora.

    His Holiness Aram I will address the conference and will personally attend
    all its sessions. The Armenian Department of the Gulbenkian Foundation will
    take part in this conference and contribute financially. The minister of
    Education of Armenia will also address the conference and a delegation from
    Armenia will be invited to attend the conference.

    All those who want to get more information about the conference can get in
