Back Armenia

 Armenia takes the first steps towards youth work recognition, which should be one of the steps of the investment in the youth work system. There is no formal education and training system in our country yet. We are planning to implement "youth work" specialization programs in the higher education system. The Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs of the Republic of Armenia, which is now merging with the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport of the Republic of Armenia, has implemented training programs for youth workers in 2016, 2017, including international experts. This year, two youth work programs are also planned - a training program with the participation of 4 international experts and under the CIS International Youth Cooperation 2018-2020 Program the following program is planned: Exchange of experience in training, retraining and advanced training of specialists in the field of "work with youth". The ministry is also planning to incorporate the "youth worker" profession into the formal education system as vocational training. Information on youth work organizations and their programs is available on the Ministry's website, but in Armenian, as well as on the websites of those organizations. Our country does not involve in any European or national initiatives supporting youth work.
