The project was aimed to establish a “competence Centre” to provide assistance and support in future activities related to management, conservation and enhancement of cultural heritage in Armenia and the surrounding Region. The goal of the Centre is to support the progress in both tangible and intangible cultural heritage protection, management and enhancement, such as archaeological objects, historical architectural structures, decorative surfaces, paintings, sculpture, traditions, music, folklore etc. The project acts in the five key areas: Management, Training, Regulations, Communication, and Regional Hub. All works are implemented in close collaboration with the professors, researchers and technical staff from four involved structures of the University of Bologna, under the leadership of the Department of Cultural Heritage of the Campus of Ravenna. The Center was inaugurated on 31st of July, 2018 at the presence of the President of the Republic of Armenia Mr. Armen Sarkissian, and the President of the Italian Republic Mr. Sergio Mattarella, in the premises of the National Gallery of Armenia in the heart of Yerevan.

Summary Page German Educational and Cultural Centre in Armenia 2 (DELKA, Deutsches Lehr- und Kulturzentrum in Armenien) The German educational and cultural centre was founded due to the initiative of Goethe Institute (Munich) in Yerevan on June 26, 1992. It was legitimized by the Ministry of Education and Science (NM - 157 from 26.06.1992) on June 28, 1994. The Centre is registered at the Ministry of Justice (Order N 31/2-33 from 28.06.1994) as well. Branches up to 2010: Artashat, Artik, Gyumri, Eghegnadzor, Kapan, Martuni, Sevan, Vanadzor. The Centre is active in the following fields: 1. Language Courses The courses are targeted at all age levels from children over adolescents to adults, as well as members of the German community in Armenia. There are courses for several competence levels for beginners, as well as advanced training level. Furthermore, the centre also offers options for individual counselling and tutoring. 2. Teacher training The teacher training consists of language and cross-cultural workshops, as well as network seminars, didactic-methodological seminars. There are options for part- time courses as well as correspondence courses for German language educators. At the end of the part-time courses, the participating teachers received international certificates that they were given the right to teach German in Armenia and abroad, almost anywhere in the world.
  • Unforgettable Landscapes

    Unforgettable Landscapes

    Unforgettable Landscapes: Attachments to the Past in Hellenistic Armenia Lori Khatchadourian Historical cartographers are quintessential memory specialists. Given the task of determining the relative importance of one hamlet, village, town, or city from another, those who map the past exercise the right to erase the memory of a place itself, along with the memories of the peoples, histories, and monuments through which that place was constituted. As reviewers of the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World recently wrote, “all maps—in one way or another, aggressively or unconsciously—‘lie’ to us” (Alcock, Dey and Parker 2001, 458). This discriminating duty of the cartographer, when paired with the narrow approach of traditional classical scholarship on the Near East during the Hellenistic era (ca. 323-31 BC), has resulted in rather peculiar maps of the period: undiscovered places that are mentioned in Greek and Roman sources are marked, while archaeological sites whose names do not appear in this particular body of literature are not. The dominant narrative concerning the Hellenistic Near East has radically privileged cities thought to have been havens of Hellenism, due to the celebrated works of Greek art their inhabitants produced. For the student of classical archaeology, the likely impression of the Near East in the enigmatic period between the collapse of the Persian Empire and the rise of the Roman Empire is like that of a photograph with well-focused, fore grounded, Hellenized hubs—such as Pergamon, Antioch, Ephasos—set against a soft-focused, hazy background of 1 places that were perhaps touched by the ripple effects of Hellenism, or stagnantly persisted as vestigially Persian.

    Chapter 3 Ground Survey Chapter 3 Ground Survey 3.1 Drilling, Laboratory Tests The outline of the lithologic structure in Yerevan can be understood by the geological maps and the collected drilling database, which contains 5,094 logs; however, the data concerning the S wave velocity for the amplification analysis and the soil properties for the liquefaction analysis are not enough. To collect these data, 10 drillings were newly conducted in Yerevan and several tests were conducted using these boreholes. The quantities of the tests are shown in Table 3.1-1. Table 3.1-1 Quantities of Tests Category Quantities Drilling 30m x 10 Groundwater Level Measurement 10 Standard Penetration Test 129 Disturbed Soil Sampling 116 Laboratory Test 116 The drilling points are mainly set to the area where the Quaternary deposits cover because it is effective for the amplification of the earthquake motion by the ground and liquefaction potential. The geologic condition of Yerevan was estimated as follows from the existing information. The rock layer may be shallow in the northern area and the soft soils cover the southern area. Therefore, the selected newly boring points locate in the south of Yerevan city (Figure 3.1-1). The surface soils of each drilling points are shown in Table 3.1-1. The drilling logs are shown in Data Book. The example of drilling log is shown in Figure 3.1-1. 3-1 Final Report Vol. II Main Report 1 Figure 3.1-1 Location of drilling points Table 3.1-2 Surface geology of the drilling points Quaternary layer Symbol Age No.

    The Heritage 'NGO': a Case Study on the Role of Grass-Roots Heritage Societies in Iran and Their Perception of Cultural Heri

    The Heritage ‘NGO’: a Case Study on the Role of Grass-Roots Heritage Societies in Iran and their Perception of Cultural Heritage Ali Mozaffari Email: [email protected] Australia-Asia-Pacific Institute, Curtin University, Australia Introduction This paper examines the general terrain of heritage activism in contemporary Iran. It presents the preliminary findings of recent fieldwork involving travel to three provinces and discussions with 12 activists.1 Heritage activism appears either in the form of individual activists or in the form of NGOs within which activists network, organize their activities and pursue their interests. In Iran, such NGOs or societies were provisioned for initially in the form of Scientific, Literary and Artistic Societies in the early-1990s2 and became active in the late-1990s.3 For the purposes of this paper, I subscribe to a legal definition of NGO as stipulated in Article 1 of the Executive Regulations Governing Establishment and Activities of Non-Governmental Organisations (27 October 2005) in Iran. Accordingly, NGOs are ‘organisations established voluntarily by a group of individuals or legal entities not related to the state following relevant legal requirements and in pursuit of goals are neither for profit nor political’(Executive Regulations). The proscription of political activities (emphasised in Article 3) differentiates NGOs from political parties, whose programs and goals relate to the state’s political system and its strategic goals. Nevertheless, there are provisions for NGOs to provide consultation and propose solutions to various levels of state bureaucracy as relevant to their work (Article 4) or even ‘organise meetings and protests in pursuit of their goals’ (Article 5).
