The leadership of the Pedagogical University Faculty of Special and Inclusive Education, headed by the Dean Siranush Karapetyan, the Lecturers, the Head of the Practicum Department Hasmik Arakelyan and the Director of the “Sexual Health Protection” NGO, sexologist Ruzanna Azatyan were hosted at the “Way of Happiness” charitable non-governmental organization, where they participated in an interactive meeting-discussion together with the parents of the beneficiaries of the “Way of Happiness”.
During the seminar named “Parenting Skills” a number of questions were discussed, such as to allow or to forbid, age-appropriate mental development, nervous tension and fears, crisis situations, overcoming crisis and conflicts, strengthening the parent-grownup /child/ connection and the threatening dangers, as well as parental behavior regulations.
The parties emphasized and highly praised the results of the meeting-discussion; and coming up, a series of separate meetings will be organized for the beneficiaries to discuss the problematic topics, where the ASPU special pedagogues and psychologists will work with them.
What is more, as agreed, the students of the University will be spending their continuous and pedagogical-psychological practicum at the “Way of Happiness” charity non-profit organization in the coming academic year. In addition, the issues raised during the meetings will also be included in the graduate papers of the MA students.
We would also like to remind that recently a cooperation memorandum has been signed between the ASPU and the “Way of Happiness” NGO, giving them the opportunity to conduct joint research activities, to arrange students practical and educational activities, seminars and round table discussions.
In addition, as stipulated by the memorandum, examination of educational literature and professional counselling in the context of inclusive education will also be conducted.
