Forum link: Hamazkayin Forum.org
Hamazkayin Student Cultural Forum was incepted in 1994 by the second Hamazkayin General Assembly in Dzaghgatsor, Armenia. Its main goal is to bridge Armenian students from all over the world. It is aimed at bringing together Armenian students in an Armenian atmosphere, to convey the Armenian past and present, history and traditions, together with our complex existence, and our concerns and opportunities for preserving our cultural values. The Forum is also a medium where the social and national problems of the Armenian youth, as well as the Armenian student’s duties to his nation are discussed.
Several famous lecturers from Armenia and the diaspora provide their input for the Forum’s academic programs. The lectures are based on the themes of Armenia history, literature, cultural wealth, folk traditions, music, and theater. Activities include Armenian folk dance, sculpture, and publishing. The students publish an information bulletin on their day-to-day activities.
The most important part of the Forum is the round-table discussions, during which the students discuss various issues and problems, thus creating a true bond among those coming from Armenia and the various communities in the diaspora.
The Forum is an excellent opportunity for many students from Armenia and the diaspora to meet, exchange their knowledge and experience, to develop close ties, and to enjoy unforgettable moments. When necessary, the organizing committee financially assists the participants. The Forum also creates an atmosphere where young people are trained as group guides and take on positions of responsibility. Lectures are often translated into foreign languages to be comprehensible by every participant.
