AGBU’s Discover Armenia Trip Exposes Diasporan Teens to Their Heritage

For the fifth consecutive year, AGBU’s Discover Armenia organized an action-packed trip to Armenia and neighboring Karabakh for diasporan youth ages 15 to 18. From August 8 – 27, 22 youths from 13 cities and 6 countries spent 20 unforgettable days in Armenia under the direction and guidance of Herminé Duzian, AGBU Diaspora Youth Programs Coordinator in Armenia. The youths hailed from Belgium (Anvers), Canada (Toronto, Montreal), France (Paris, Marseilles, Vienne, Valance and Bordeaux), Germany (Munich), Lebanon (Beirut), and the United States of America (New Jersey, New York, California).

Along with visits to Garni, Geghard, the Holy See of Etchmiadzin, Noravank, the AGBU Nork Children’s Center, Oshakan, the Tsitsernakabert Armenian Genocide Museum, Sardarapat, Sevan, the AGBU-sponsored Vazkenian Theological Seminary and other landmarks and museums, the participants also learned the value of volunteerism by helping with the renovation of homes in the village of Khor Virap, which was sponsored by the Fuller organization, and in the cleaning of the Khosrov Forest State Preserve, coordinated by the World Wildlife Fund.
