Take a look at the three events organized by UNFPA Armenia.

In 2021, the Youth Capital of Armenia is Kapan, hence we celebrated 12 August, the International Youth Day in Kapan.

We added three events to the events held for youth in Kapan that day.

First, at 12 o'clock we gave start to the youth Healthy Bike Run, aimed at promoting healthy lifestyle, physical activity and cycling. We organized it jointly with Kapan "Development Initiatives" NGO. Six randomly selected participants received prizes from UNFPA Armenia.
