Parallel routes: From journalism to education, from Artsakh to Armenia

16.10.24

Former journalists Narine and Tamara find meaning and hope for the future through education, school and students.

A great desire to solve problems from their roots brought journalists Narine and Tamara to education. In 2017, Narine became a teacher for "Teach For Armenia" at a school in Vaghazin village in Artsakh, and Tamara created the Vicki club and a theater group in Karvachar. In 2020, shortly after the 44-day Armenian-Azerbaijani war, the young women returned to Artsakh and the school system. Displaced from Artsakh in 2023 and linking their only hope and faith to schools, both of them continue to work in "Teach For Armenia" as head of leadership development.
