Children and Youth Camp "Rosatom School": through the thorns to the  stars or new friends of Armenian children from Bangladesh to Belarus

ArmInfo. Despite the fact that the International Polyling Youth Camp "School of Rosatom" has been functioning since 2011, the children from Armenia for the first time  took part in this project.

The first experience for Armenian children proved to be quite successful and they are eagerly awaiting new similar projects. So, 21 members of the Armenian team, during a  meeting with the head of the Russian Center for Science and Culture  (Rossotrudnichestvo) in Yerevan, Sergei Rybinsky, were interested in  whether such projects will be implemented in the future and whether  they can again take part in the projects of the Rossatom School. 

Rybinsky assured that for his part he will do everything possible to  ensure Armenia's participation in the programs was long: "We will  keep our fingers on the pulse and, if possible, promote Armenia," the  head of the RCSC assured.The children shared with Rybinsk their  impressions of the trip to the All-Russian Children's Center "Ocean",  located near Vladivostok, on the picturesque shore of the bay of  Emar, where this year the International Polylingal Children's Camp  "School of Rosatom" was held under the motto "Young diplomat".  According to the stories of the children, this visit was given to  them by a sea of emotions, they first saw the ocean and even bathed  in it, visited the most adventurous oceanarium, talked with children  from other countries, found new friends with whom they continue to  communicate through social networks. 

 Project participant David Manukyan said that the way to the "Ocean"  was long and exhausting, since they traveled more than 16 hours to  their destination. <But, you know, this way was worth it. We had very  busy and interesting days. <School of Rosatom> gave us the  opportunity to communicate with children from Vietnam, Indonesia,  Bangladesh, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Belarus. In Armenia, we did not have  such an opportunity. With other participants of the project, we  mainly communicated either in Russian or in English, and sometimes we  were rescued by sign language. We taught our new friends even  Armenian. But the most important thing that this trip has given me is  this friendship, the unity of all peoples. I would like to take part  in similar projects in the future. "Another participant of the camp  Alla Aslanyan with a glint in her eyes said that every morning in the  "Ocean" began with dances and songs.  "We always wanted to sing. We  learned a lot during the days of our stay in the camp, there were a  lot of different activities, circles and contests, but they did not  burden us at all, but instead we rallied around common interests. So  we found new friends, and maybe even closer ones than we had before  in Armenia. I would very much like to take part in the camp "Rosatom  School" in the future.The children also told that, despite the  tension in the Armenian-Turkish relations, they became friends with  the children from Turkey who also took part in the project. The  children are convinced that friendship between the nations is  important and expressed hope that in the future Armenia and Turkey  will still manage to normalize relations. Most of the children were  admired by the Vietnamese delegation, all of them unanimously said  that they now have friends in Vietnam and they are looking forward to  new meetings with them. "It was very difficult for us to leave, now  it's easy to talk, but when we left we cried," the children tell and  show photos from the trip, where emotions are alive. 

In turn, the head of the Armenian delegation from CJSC "Armenian  Nuclear Power Plant" (YPP) Elena Hakobyan noted that Armenian  children perfectly speak both Armenian and Russian languages, that's  why they had absolutely no problems in the camp in the camp. "You  understand, in order to get into the Ocean, you have to earn it. You,  at least, should be talented. Naturally the selection in our team was  tough, we held a competition, according to which 11 children of  Rosatom employees were able to take part in the camp of the Rosatom  School, another 10 people of our team are the children of  compatriots. This camp is an excellent opportunity to demonstrate  that Armenia and Russia have excellent relations. We are friends and  we want to maintain our strong friendship in the future. The only  thing I wanted to say is that we, the Armenian side, took part in  this event for the first time, although the school has existed for  several years.  We would very much like to take part in the projects  of the "Rosatom School" in the future, "Hakobyan said.Note that the  ninth International polylingale children's camp "School Rosatom" was  held from July 18 to August 7. 126 children from 8 countries took  part in the change, including 21 children from Armenia.The project  "The School of Rosatom" is being implemented since 2011 on the  initiative of the State Atomic Energy Corporation "Rosatom". 

The project is aimed at the development of the education systems of  21 participating cities - the territories of the enterprises of the  nuclear industry. Initially, the project was built as one of the  mechanisms for preserving the uniqueness and innovative development  of education systems for the towns of the location of enterprises of  the State Corporation Rosatom. The project is set by a high  professional.
