    IN ANTELIAS A PAN-DIASPORA CONFERENCE ON ARMENIAN EDUCATION STARTS ITS WORK


    ANTELIAS, LEBANON - Initiated by His Holiness Aram I, Catholicos of Cilicia
    and organized by the Catholicosate of Cilicia, a Pan-Diaspora Conference on
    Armenian Education will start its discussion on Thursday morning, 5 August
    2004 in the main hall of the Theological Seminary, in Bikfaya, Lebanon. The
    theme of the conference is "The Armenian Education today in a Diaspora
    situation". Around one hundred intellectuals and experts almost from all
    communities in Diaspora will address this timely issue in different
    perspectives and contexts.

    The Conference will start with a critical and analytical evaluation of the
    present estate of the Armenian Education in Diaspora, and will proceed to
    identify the emerging concerns and perspectives. In light of that the
    Conference will endeavor to redefine the Armenian Education vis-à-vis the
    new challenges and the new realities of the present world. The Conference
    will conclude its deliberations by making a declaration, where the major
    guidelines and orientations for a new educational policy for the Diaspora
    will be outlined.

    The minister of Education, the president of the Cultural and Educational
    commission of the Parliament and the president of the Union of the Armenian
    writers in Armenia will attend this conference.

    Because of the unique importance of the Conference and the special
    attention that the Armenian Catholicosate of Cilicia gives to the Armenian
    Education, His Holiness Aram I will address the Conference and take part in
    its deliberations and actions.
