Yerevan, March 02. /Arka/. A presentation of the Armenian-language Website on International Education http://www.projectharmony.am/ie/ has been held in Yerevan. Eric Nankervis, Regional Director, Project Harmony, pointed out that the resource was designed by secondary school students who participated in the International Education Week essay competition on “Why I need to be Internationally Educated”. The website presents various opportunities available for Armenians to study abroad. Nankervis expressed a hope that the resource will become a handbook for students in seeking opportunities for receiving international education.

The Project Harmony opened its office in Armenia in 2000, when it launched the Armenia School Connectivity Program in the country.
