It was the second camp project in the frames of Roots for Reconciliation Local Capacities for Peace Seed Grant Tool. The first camp, held in 2017, was entitled a “Camp for Hope” and the main goal was to mobilize the active youth and empower them through a youth camp as a safe space to express their opinion and to be heard after the war on April 2016 in the country. You can read more about the last`s year camp here.

The “Camp for Life” was more targeted at capacity building and encouraging the participants to seek for possibilities for self-development and to count on their own abilities and potential and move a step forward.

Each day camp had 3 main components which were designed to build a healthy mind, spirit and body:

1. Educational part:

  • Training sessions on Communication skills, How to write a CV/Cover letter and prepare for a job interview, Team-work and Leadership, First Aid.
  • Meetings with Vardan Hambardzumyan, the YMCA Europe Executive Secretary and RfR Project team members and leaders and Mr Ashot Ghulyan, the Chairman of National Assembly of the country;

2. Cultural part:

  • TenSing, performances offered by participants themselves and by invited guests;

3. Sports activities:

  • Sports competitions and active games including a a first aid workshop.

The camp this year also was runed by Artsakh YMCA leaders in cooperation with a group of leaders from Armenia with a rich YMCA background and experience. Also, Roots for Reconciliation staff team: Vardan Hambardzumyan and Rezi Shavladze, together with members of the Local Capacities for Peace Seed Grant Tool Committee – Sandro Samadbegishvili, Lusine Vardanyan and Vova Ghulyan, attended some of the activities of the camp.
