Around 40 teenagers from Tavush and Artsakh took part in the final art workshops of the “Menq & Moonq” humanitarian program held in Ijevan. Over two days, participants explored acting, photography, storytelling, and collage-making, forming new friendships along the way.
Our 7-day Summer Camp is designed to provide a safe, engaging, and enriching experience for youth aged 12-18. Set in a supportive environment, the camp offers a balanced program combining psychoeducational workshops, recreational activities, and interactive group experiences.
The last two sessions of the “Menq & Moonq” humanitarian program’s crafts workshop were held for women from Artsakh who have resettled in the Syunik region. The event in Goris brought together 26 participants, along with their children, from towns and villages across the area.
During the handicrafts workshop, the women collaborated on a large canvas, embroidering with vibrant threads, coloring with crayons, and writing heartfelt wishes. The therapeutic evening provided a space for the women to open up about their past lives in Artsakh, the challenges of adjusting to new environments, and their emotional experiences.
More than 30 teenagers, aged 12 to 17, took part in workshops focused on acting, storytelling, handicrafts, and vocal arts. Through interactive group activities, local youth and forcibly displaced children from Artsakh—now residing in Sevan and nearby areas—quickly bonded, discovering shared experiences and forming new friendships.
The “7 Paths” project focuses on mental health and aims to support displaced individuals from Artsakh and Armenians in general as they navigate difficult life transitions, overcome crises, adapt to new realities, and find new ways to move forward. The initiative consists of a ten-episode YouTube podcast of the same name and a free interactive self-care workbook.
On February 15-16, more than 40 teenagers from the Tavush region and Artsakh took part in two days of creative workshops organized within the Menq & Moonq program. The goal was simple: to bring together, connect, and help teenagers from Noyemberyan and Artsakh build friendships.
As the therapeutic evening unfolded, they reminisced about their lives in Artsakh—their homeland, water, gardens, and cities—while also discussing their current struggles and experiences.
In an ever-changing reality, maintaining mental health has become a serious issue for many. The “7 Paths” project, launched within the framework of the Menq & Moonq humanitarian program, aims to support people in crisis, helping them maintain their mental well-being and stability.
