Steps to a Sustainable
Future
Mentoring Phase
During these three months we had three mentoring group
meetings, titled as follows: “Development of imagination and
memory”, “Fear and the ways to overcome it”, and “I want to
change the world”. All the meetings were intended to reveal
their inner world, fears and all the other positive traits,
which help to develop a creative person.
Individual meetings in Nor Luyce
Mentoring individual meetings are still going on in Nor
Luyce. Now we have 11 mentor-mentee pairs, who have or-
ganized 101 individual meetings in total. The meetings that
were realized during the three months were very interesting,
unique and educational. During these three months the pairs
visited museums, exhibitions, jobsites of their friends, went
out for a walk, celebrated a mentee’s birthday, baked to-
gether, etc. Our mentors also visited their mentees at school
and music school, went to the events where their mentees
were participating, they also sat with their mentees at a class.
Lead me and I will follow you
During these three months mentor-mentee pairs have organized three
meetings. With the help of mentors the mentees made and presented
presentation on the following topics: “The magic world of Armenian
legends”, “Worldwide sport championship” and “I want to change the
world”. All the meetings were motivating and full of aspiration.
Skill Building Phase
During these three months six group meetings were organ-
ized, that aimed to arm the mentees with all the important
skills necessary for the 21st century. Those skills were the
following ones: time management, team work, right use of
internet, computers, and web-sites, how to right a paper and
how to get ready for an interview.

Mentoring training
Nor Luyce continues providing the mentors with mentoring
trainings for them to have productive meetings with their men-
tees. Mentoring trainings help the mentors to gain new knowl-
edge and new techniques regarding the mentoring. Nor Luyce
also provided the mentors with other important trainings to help
them be more developed. During these three months our men-
tors took part in three trainings on “How to motivate the teenag-
ers”, “Credit and debit cards, loans”, and “how to post an article
in Wikipedia”. All the meetings were led by the appropriate trainers.
Special thank you to Hripsime Farzadyan, Gohar Hovhannisyan and Jenya Mazmanyan for their sup-
port.
Overall group meetings
During these three months we had two overall group meetings:
“Christmas” and “The secret of success”. The last meeting aimed
to root the sense of trust in mentees for them to be easy to
reach their goals and have success. Regarding Christmas, we
could celebrate it on December 21st, 2014. The aim of the
meeting was to
ce lebrate the
holiday with the
whole team, have
fun and enjoy our
day together. During the meeting the mentor-mentee
pairs presented a small activity together, while other
mentees presented small shows with their phase groups.
During the event the mentees showed different dances,
songs, humor activities, exchanged with information
about Christmas, and also cited poems.
Scholarship Phase
During these three months our mentees took part in two more
group meetings referring to financial fields. During one of the
meetings the mentees learnt about budgeting and during the
other one they met with a financier. Our speaker, Jenya
Mazmanyan, summed up the financial meeting and answered all
the questions that mentees had. Right after the financial meet-
ings the mentees took part in computer classes. During these
classes the mentees learnt MS Word and MS Power Point in de-
tails.

ver prize in the Adult Weightlifting Championship held in Yerevan.

English and Armenian language classes in Nor Luyce
Two groups of English Language classes are going on in Nor Luyce. In
these three months Armenian language classes were also organized.
Our tutors help the mentees not only to
get ready for the State exams, but also

guages.
Thank you dear tutors for educating the mentees.
