- Science, history, culture

- Music and Social Dances
- Yoga and First Aid
- HR, Freelance
- Restauration

e.t.c.
“Con-SEP-tion Summit” provided the perfect environment for networking. Finding like-minded people, forming new organizations/movements, realizing new projects, those are the core aims of SEP.
During the summit, suddenly rain broke out but it turned out amazing. People were dancing in the rain, laughing, riding horses, and continuing the workshops.
The positive energy was overwhelming. Smiling faces, curious eyes, crafty hands, hot discussions, horses, rain, new experiences. The motto “Inhale knowledge, exhale skills” was guided throughout the event.
After the seminars, workshops, and discussions, the calming melodies of hang summarised the day. Bildung was in the air!
In the example of national folk schools in Scandinavian countries, SEP creates non-formal education platforms all across Armenia. For the past 6 months, more than 70 different events were organized by SEP.
