Yerevan (VNA) - Chairman of the Vietnamese National Assembly Tran Thanh Man visited the TUMO Centre for Creative Technologies – a free-of-charge educational centre that helps young people in Armenia learn and enhance their skills by their own, during his official visit to the West Asian nation on April 2.
Man and the NA delegation were introduced to the centre, where training programmes are conducted through self-learning, workshops, and project experiments with 14 learning targets. Through a unique blend of exploration, self-study, practical workshops, and expert-led labs, young people develop practical skills in areas ranging from programming and robotics to music, graphic design, and others.
To date, TUMO has expanded its networks with centres in several cities around the world. Armenia is currently building 16 fully equipped TUMO Centres in major cities and has set up 110 "TUMO Boxes" – compact, high-tech learning spaces – for young people in remote areas. In June, TUMO plans to launch its first centre in Asia, located in Japan.
