During the 2-night stay, the students get to know each other and each of them presents what he has seen and learned, the interesting episodes of everyday life and customs.

On the second day of the program, an excursion to historical and cultural monuments was organized, and on the 3rd day, all the 8th grade students of the two schools will meet in Nerkin Bazmaberd.

Within the framework of this event, students get the opportunity to get to know each other closely and hold various cultural events.

During the visit, Prime Minister Pashinyan talked with the students and teachers, answered their questions, and the students performed cultural performances. They thanked Nikol Pashinyan for visiting them and having an interesting conversation.

Summarizing the meeting, the Prime Minister noted,

"Dear Madam Minister,
Mr. Governor,
Dear community leader,
Dear directors,
Dear teachers,
Dear students,
Dear pupils,
Dear representatives of the Pedagogical University,

First of all, I want to thank you for inviting me to attend this beautiful day and event, because honestly, I received a lot of positive energy from all of you. I am very happy to see that today there is such a practice in our public education sector that children gather outside the building, outside the school, outside the classroom and communicate not only with the neighboring school, the classroom next door, but also with the school in the rural area. And I consider this communication very important and instructive for everyone. Of course, I hope that I will have new opportunities to participate in such events.

I want to thank all of you for the spirit, for the mood, for the organization, for the relationships, for the desire, for the creativity. And this is very important and an integral part of education. I have said many times, I keep saying that there is nothing more important than education, and the goal of all of us is to ensure that the level of education in Armenia increases further and further. But it certainly does not mean only a better book, a better building, it means a better approach. And I saw that quality approach today, for which I thank all of you."
