The second phase of the educational Step toward Home program has begun in Tsaghkadzor, welcoming Diaspora Armenian boys and girls aged 13-18 from Russia, Georgia, the USA, Estonia, and Latvia.

At the opening ceremony, program coordinator Iskuhi Torosyan greeted the participants and presented the two-week program, which was followed by their concert performances.

Over the next two weeks, participants will follow a full agenda, including courses in Armenian language, history, traditional song and dance, as well as visits to the country's historical and cultural sites, educational institutions, and meetings with public and cultural figures.

The RA government covers all expenses for the 13-day program in Armenia.
