The sixth day of the Hamazkayin Youth Forum 2017 comprised of visits to educational institutions. Yerevan State University (YSU) was our first stop. This ancient university, which was founded in 1919, attracted the attention of our participants. University Rector Prof. Aram Simonyan gave detailed explanations about the history, the present, the various opportunities and the students of the university. He informed us that the University has 20,000 students, as well as student exchange programs within various countries. The professor also touched upon the joint initiatives between YSU and Hamazkayin. Then we went to our second stop, the American University of Armenia (AUA). Participants were again briefly introduced to the university's history and programs. The group then lunched at the university. After returning to the hotel for a short rest, we went to the Tumo Technological Center and admired the modern work done there. The Tumo employees, who settled in Armenia from abroad, gave their living examples and explanations about the difference Tumo makes throughout Armenia. On the trip back from Tumo, a cooling rain poured onto the streets of Yerevan.
Dinner was served at the hotel's restaurant and after a hearty meal, we sat in the conference room in order to take part in an educational activity led by Viken Tufenkjian. The Armenian community of each country was presented by the students of that country. Thus ended the 6th day of the Forum.
