On Saturday, April 3, the students of Siamanto Academy were delighted to meet online with peers from Esayan and Dadyan Schools of Constantinople. As the number of attendees was large, the meeting was broken up into three groups. Teachers Lerna Selekman Karakütük and Jıbdun Zurnacı from Constantinople, teachers Sossi Sousanian, Sosyi Mishoyan and Lena Nazarian very deftly broke the ice in this first gathering of students from these three institutions and in a short time created a friendly videoconferencing environment.
Armenian teenagers are missing the opportunity to get to know young Armenians from other places and this event was a first step in that direction as teachers and school officials pave the way for more such meetings.
