Just like all children’s stories and fairy tales, this one also carries serious and important messages, which we discussed with about 25 children present at the event.
The selection of a book in Western Armenian was conditioned by the idea of breaking the stereotype, which states that “Western Armenian is hardly perceived by the Eastern Armenians”. Our target is the children, because they are more open to new experiences and are not misguided by the stereotypes.
The announcement about the event has been distributed and a request for participation the reading program was received from a group of students from the Mkhitar Sebastatsi Educational Complex, who came to the event with their teacher of Western Armenian. Also, the program welcomed the students from the Avetisyan School and other guests who was not familiar with the program.
