The Hrant Dink Foundation’s program for the study and dissemination of Western Armenian, which has been implemented since 2016, is entering a new phase.

The first semester of online courses for the 2026–2027 academic year will begin on September 21 and continue until January 25, 2027. The program provides a total of 72 hours of instruction, held twice a week for two hours per session. The courses will be conducted via Zoom, and the deadline for submitting applications is September 17.

Conversational proficiency courses will also begin in October for those who have basic knowledge of Western Armenian and wish to develop their speaking skills.

In addition to language courses, the Foundation also offers digital educational materials, including spell-checking programs, audio recordings, articles, and videos. The program aims not only to preserve Western Armenian as an endangered cultural heritage but also to pass it on to new generations through modern and dynamic teaching methods.
