About Us
Website's Origin
My name is Andre Govignon, I am half-Armenian, and currently a Junior in Highschool. Towards the end of my Sophmore year, I applied for the Scholars program at Christian Brothers Academy in Lincroft, NJ. The class curriculum was an independent research project on a topic of our choice. As an Armenian, I felt it was important always to preserve our culture in any way possible. That is why I chose this website as my independent research project on the preservation of Armenian culture.
The Foundation
This project is based on the William Saroyan poem, where he talks about the indomitable spirit of the Armenian people and how regardless of what part of the world we are in, the culture will continue on. I have categorized my project into different fields, such as Art, Music, food, religion, etc. By doing this, this website will be a continually compiling database for each subdivision of our culture I have decided.
Website's Content
This website will host an array of different content. It will likely include interviews with other respected and influential people from the categories of Armenian Culture we have defined. In addition, we will have monthly "assignments" oriented around Armenian Culture. The videos will be submitted through different platforms, and featured ones will be put up on the website, while all others will be on a youtube channel
