ArmInfo. Artsakh children took part in a 3-week summer shift of the youth project "The Day After Tomorrow", which took place from July 7 to 26 at the international school "Interdom" named after E.D. Stasova.

According to the message received by ArmInfo, 55 schoolchildren from Artsakh refugee families took part in the event. The program was very intense and included master classes, creative meetings, excursions, studying the Russian language and communicating with peers from Russia.

A lot of time in the camp was devoted to team activities so that the participants of the shift learned to help each other and stick together. Thanks to water and sports relay races, photo quests, where the squads were divided into teams, the children developed their communication skills, worked in a team, learned to understand each other, made joint decisions and showed maximum creativity.


In addition, the camp participants at Interdom took part in a quiz from the Russian Society "Knowledge" of the All-Russian project "League of Counselors" and got acquainted with the All-Russian educational program "Orlyata Rossii". The children also took a trip along the Golden Ring of Russia, the first stop was Yaroslavl. Then the travelers went to Kostroma, visited an elk farm, where they watched the animals, stroked them and fed them carrots, and also took part in a master class on making chocolate. 

Today, July 26, in Moscow, the children will also meet with the Commissioner for Children's Rights under the President of Russia. In Moscow, they will also have a 4-day excursion program: to VDNKh, a sightseeing tour of Moscow, the zoo, the Darwin Museum, Zaryadye Park and leading Russian universities for future career guidance.
