On June 21th at 14:00 a presentation of updated www.kronadaran.am online media guide for religious tolerance and www.new.religions.am websites was held at EPF premises. The web resources are developed by Eurasia Partnership Foundation, Media Initiatives Center and “Collaboration for Democracy” NGO trough support of the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to Armenia and Georgia.
Eurasia Partnership Foundation (EPF) is in the process of growth. Currently, EPF implements several long-term multi-year consortium programs including CSO DePo, CELoG, MICE; as well as anti-discrimination and cross-border projects.
Alongside with successful implementation of programs and projects, EPF faces growing organizational challenges related to stress mitigation, quality assurance, team building, multiplication of impact areas, emergency rapid response, and others. EPF wants to further build its strategic thinking capacity; skills to successfully and effectively navigate between conflicting groups; portfolio of services for conflict mitigation and constructive concerted action among members of consortiums and beneficiary networks. In addition, EPF is turning into an organization-media, which should help it to have a targeted impact on a variety of areas of Armenia’s development.
In May, 2016 Eurasia Partnership Foundation (EPF) had announced a research competition entitled: “The Manifestations of Tolerance and Intolerance in Armenian Literature” within the “Promotion of religious tolerance and fight against discrimination” project implemented by EPF with support of the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to Armenia and Georgia.

As an intern and outsider, I sought to better understand the general mood in regards to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict among the participants of the CTS. I was also interested in the methodology of the school itself; how it was planned and executed in order to challenge the participant’s thoughts in a productive, non-hostile manner. We began the discussion by trying to define critical thinking- a nuanced and often misused term that is of utmost importance to the individual who wishes to grow as a sensible, informed, and active civilian. We then briefly indulged in an overview of the most well-known theories of politics, society, and human nature, which was crucial to frame the challenging of stereotypes that to follow. Here the students were very engaged and throughout the four days, the subject of stereotypes and distinctions that we create for ourselves and for others was raised again and again.
