COMMUNITY TRANSFORMATION
Despite the challenges faced by our community members in Artsakh , we are proud to say that community transformation is still underway , thanks in part to the Innovation Projects led by our students , Teacher-Leaders , and Alumni- Ambassadors .
KOLKHOZQUEST
One such project is KolkhozQuest , a quest game aimed at developing local tourism in the village of Kolkhozashen that was developed through a Student-Led Innovation Project under the guidance of Teacher-Leader Ashot Gabrielyan . Through the quest , tourists learn about and visit the community ’ s historical and cultural sites with local students , who facilitate their experience . Four quest games have taken place to date , with over 100 tourists visiting the village . KolkhozQuest is also a social enterprise ; funds generated by the quest , which is a paid activity for tourists , have been used to establish the Jane Youth Center in the village .
JANE YOUTH CENTER
Jane Youth Center serves as a community space for students to study Change-Based Learning and generate even more new Innovation Projects that will further transform Kolkhozashen . The center has 30 active students who participate in its programming , and two new ideas are already being implemented : Jane Handicrafts , and the establishment of a kindergarten in the village .
