On 26 September 2018, a discussion will be held in the Social-Educational Centre of the Shirak Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church of Gyumri in the scope of the “Commitment to Constructive Dialogue“ Project. The topic is: “Opportunities, Achievements, and Problems of Entrepreneurial Education and Entrepreneurship in the State and Non-State Vocational Training Institutes of the Shirak Marz.” After the discussion, Khachik Gevorgyan, the Education and Related Sectors Coordinator of the Project, will provide personal advice to the participants of the Gyumri Incubator that have chosen the mentioned sectors.
The “Commitment to Constructive Dialogue” project is implemented with the financial support of the European Union by a consortium of civil society organizations, which are the “Armenian Lawyers’ Association” NGO, Agora Central Europe o.p.s (an NGO from the Czech Republic), the “Armenian Center for Democratic Education-CIVITAS” NGO, the “International Center for Human Development” Public Organization, the “SME Cooperation Association” NGO and the Union of Communities of Armenia.
The overall objective of the project is to enhance the influence of CSOs and their coalitions (networks) on the public policy process. This will enable the organizations (that already work in target coalitions) to gain new resources, unite civil society experts and encourage them to participate in the formation of local and national policy agenda, identify the common problems and priorities and to apply to the government with constructive and strategic policy initiatives.
In the scope of the project, sub-grants will be allocated to CSOs and CSO coalitions, aiming at public policy development and achieving tangible results in the 9 target sectors: justice, human rights, public finance management, business, education, social sector: social inclusion of children with disabilities, agriculture, economy, energy.
