The Easter Celebration at the European School served as a platform for nurturing national values and fostering learner-led participation. Through inquiry and creativity, students explored the symbolic significance of the holiday, expressing gratitude and hope through meaningful performances and community engagement.

As a core element of this initiative, learners took principled action by preparing food, gifts, and entertainment for the Senior Citizens’ Home of Yerevan. A personal visit allowed for a real-world impact, nurturing empathy and intergenerational connection. Furthermore, all proceeds from the celebration will be donated to support the home’s ongoing needs, reinforcing the commitment to ethical giving. This event aligns with the school’s mission to develop compassionate global citizens, connecting the head, heart, and hands in service of a more interconnected community.
