Learn, Apply, Share: The 7th Cycle of the WorldView Three-Month Training Program Has Officially Launched

On March 4, the Visual Armenia Foundation launched the 7th cycle of the three-month training program dedicated to the exploration and effective use of the WorldView innovative educational platform, bringing together hundreds of teachers from Armenia and the Diaspora.

Interest in the program remains high this year as well. A total of 1,623 teachers from the Republic of Armenia and the Diaspora registered for the new cycle. Participants include teachers of history, geography, literature, physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, chess, and foreign languages, as well as primary school educators.

During the opening session, Arevik Avetisyan, Head of the WorldView Educational Program, Mariam Khachatryan, Coordinator of the Three-Month Training Program, and Armen Nersesyan, Head of Product Development, presented the Foundation’s strategic directions, the structure and content of the training program, and the updates introduced in 2026. They also explained the certification process and addressed the many questions raised by participants.

Alongside newly enrolled teachers, the launch meeting also brought together participants who have been involved in the Foundation’s various programs for several years. They shared their experiences and reflections, emphasizing how the WorldView platform has transformed both lesson design and student engagement.

“Participating in these training sessions is always a source of new ideas for me. I am now joining for the seventh cycle. Each time, I discover something new and learn a new method that motivates me even more. Even foreign language and primary school teachers can use WorldView to teach by creating interdisciplinary connections. WorldView is truly irreplaceable,” says Anahit Arakelyan, a history teacher at Gyumri Basic School No. 28. She continues, “It feels as though WorldView is always within reach, ready to support us whenever we need it. And while the WorldView teacher’s desk manual may be intended for the teacher’s desk, I would say it belongs in our bag, because I can no longer imagine my lessons without it. It is clear that the quality of our lessons has changed, children’s interest has grown, and the overall effectiveness of our teaching has improved.”

The three-month training program will continue over the coming months, offering new meetings, opportunities for peer exchange, and new ways of discovering the platform’s potential through an updated format, a renewed program, and new horizons for professional growth.

To date, six cycles of the program have already been completed. In the most recent cycle alone, 1,159 teachers from all regions of Armenia and the Diaspora participated. Of them, 187 teachers received certificates in the latest cycle, while since 2022, a total of 541 teachers have earned certificates at different levels.

The program has also fostered the development of a professional community in which teachers:

• actively exchange experience,
• jointly develop and test new teaching models,
• create new educational resources,
• implement interschool and interdisciplinary collaborative projects.

This community has become an important platform for modern educational thinking, innovation, and continuous professional development.

Through the training program, participating teachers:

• acquire skills aligned with the demands of the 21st century,
• strengthen their digital and technological capacities,
• apply modern methods and tools that improve the quality and effectiveness of teaching,
• ensure active student engagement by creating learner-centered learning environments,
• contribute as active members of a professional community through peer exchange and peer learning,
• value continuous education as an essential part of professional growth,
• support the improvement of teaching conditions and opportunities for Armenian subjects in the Diaspora.
