"We are the Civil Society" initiative
Each year, as we approach the Independence Day, on September 19th the Civil Society Day is celebrated in Armenia. The objective of this Day is to spread the idea of civil society among citizens and make them an integral part of this idea. That’s why every year the holiday bears the slogan "We Are the Civil Society".
The first time Civil Society Day was celebrated in Armenia was in 2009. Civic Development and Partnership Foundation (CDPF) and its partners organized a photo contest and exhibition named "Civil Society through my Eyes", accompanied by a concert program in Yerevan, at Lovers’ Park. Various civil society organizations, state and international organizations, as well as ordinary citizens particip ated in this festive event.
2012 will not be an exception, and this year Armenian citizens will again have the opportunity to hear and speak about civil society in Armenia and its achievements. This year the CS Day celebration is devoted to youth and teenagers, as they are the main cornerstone and future creators of civil society.
The event will take place again in Lovers’ Park (21 M. Baghramyan Ave.) and will be open to a wide public.
Join us to celebrate the Civil Society Day on September 19th, at Lovers' park!
