The graduation ceremony for the 3rd cohort of the Leadership Program of the Young Leaders School (YLS), organized by the “DiasporArm” NGO, has successfully concluded, with the graduates receiving their certificates.
YLS is a six-month initiative designed to empower teenagers and youth aged 14-19 from Echmiadzin and neighbouring communities. The program, which began in June 2022, is based in the city of Echmiadzin. Students are selected through written and oral examinations, culminating in the presentation of their project work.
YLS’s mission is to contribute to the development of well-educated, competent, knowledgeable, and patriotic citizens by transmitting skills and values essential for sustainable development and building a secure future.
As speakers, established professionals from various fields are invited, who, in addition to sharing their experience and knowledge, also become valuable connections for the students, ready to contribute to their future endeavors.
The courses include the following topics: leadership, self-awareness, emotional intelligence, values and culture, effective communication skills, logic, legal awareness, ethics and etiquette, body language, technology and innovation, presentation skills, project management, artificial intelligence, basics of financial literacy, management psychology, public speaking, diplomacy, and more.
The program once again confirms that it is possible to form a conscious, cooperative, and value-driven community by cultivating a culture of leadership and collaboration among teenagers and young people.
