INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION A Community Action Pilot Schools Scheme and a larger Community Action Pilot Study were organised in Yerevan from October to December 2007 and from February to April 2008. Following this success it was decided that a National Strategy for Community Action should be elaborated and then implemented throughout the Republic starting in the school year 2008 - 2009. The contributions of Community Action Coordinators from the Public Schools, Special and Boarding Schools and other Institutions and volunteers from the Public Schools were all vitally important to the success of the Pilot Study and the contributions of these people will be crucial to the success of the new Strategy for Community Action.
