Upcoming Initiatives

Between fundraisers, discussions, presentations, and more, the Armenian Youth Club will be busy connecting members with Armenia’s culture and acquainting non-Armenians with the country’s culture. Creating a vibrant and engaging program for high school students in Athens, Greece, will involve blending cultural education, community service, skill development, and fun.

Gatherings will feature Armenian foods and planning events such as the Heritage Fair and Club Fair. We will raise awareness about the Armenian genocide which impacts us greatly.


Cultural Education and Celebration

Cooking Classes: Hosting cooking workshops to learn traditional Armenian dishes, fostering a cultural connection through food.

Cultural History Nights: Organizing evenings dedicated to exploring Armenian history, art, and music, including guest speakers, documentaries, and student presentations.

Armenian Dance Workshops: Offering a chance to learn traditional Armenian dances, possibly culminating in a performance at an Armenian cultural event or festival.


Community and Philanthropy

Community Service Projects: Engaging in projects that benefit both the local Armenian community and the broader Greek society, including volunteering and fundraising for important causes.

Cultural Exchange Events: Organizing events with other ethnic clubs or local Greek schools to promote cultural exchange and friendship.


Recreation

Outdoor Activities: Planning outings and activities like hiking, picnics, or sports events, exploring natural beauty in Greece while drawing parallels to the Armenian landscape.

Movie Nights: Hosting movie nights featuring Armenian films or documentaries, with discussions afterward.

Book Club: Focusing the reading group on Armenian authors or themes related to Armenian culture and history.


Future Goals

Our club member Staphania Polychronopoulou suggested visiting Armenia as a club to engage in community service.

Whether we prepare delicious food for heritage fairs, or set a goal to raise enough money to travel together, the Armenian Youth Club will thrive while educating students and having a great time.
