Summer practical course “FUN FRENCH” for Artsakh students

The “We are our mountains” organization, with the support of the “Satar Artsakhin” Union (France) and in collaboration with the leadership of Yerevan school No. 48 named after Misak Manushyan, organized additional French language classes for Artsakh students from March to June 2024. The initiative aimed to help the students master the educational material and catch up with their classmates. The successful experience prompted the organizers to continue working with children during the summer.

From July 1 to July 19, the summer practical course “Fun French” will be held. In addition to Artsakh children-students from the school named after M. Manushyan, Artsakh students from other schools learning French can be invited to participate.
