On July 29, Eurasia Partnership Foundation (EPF) held a movie screening of an educational documentary film on anti-discrimination in Ijevan Infotun, followed by a discussion with Ijevan city youth. The discussion was facilitated by Anush Margaryan, the manager of the “Promoting Religious Tolerance and Non-Discrimination in Armenia” project, who also provided more detailed information on various types of discrimination, affirmative actions and requirements inherent to a specific work which do not constitute discrimination. The movie screening provoked an active debate among participants, who shared their perceptions of the concept of discrimination, instances where they have been discriminated against, and ways of tackling discriminatory treatment in Armenia, especially against vulnerable groups of society. It is noteworthy that the majority of participants agreed on the approach that every individual needs the chance to flourish and play a part in society no matter how different he/she might be from others.
