In 2016 “Koghb” Foundation together with the “Simonian” educational Foundation undertook the “TUMOxKoghb” project according to which TUMO center for creative technologies is being built in the frontier territory Koghb. The center, which is to serve the youth from Noyemberyan, Koghb, Berdavan, and more than 10 neighboring frontier communities, is designed for 1.000 students.
According to the memorandum, the total budget of the project (including operational costs until 2025) is equal to about 3 million USA dollars.
This center, where the itinerant coaches from all 4 TUMO centers as well as invited coaches from abroad are to teach, will follow the basic educational program of the TUMO center. The project is not confined by this and is to enlarge its scope in the future.
In October of 2020 "Koghb" foundation will celebrate the 7th anniversary of its foundation and activity. To celebrate this event about 7.000 fruit and decorative trees are to be planted on more than 3 hectares filed in Zikatar state reserve, Koghb Community, Tavush Marz.

Starting from July the participants will be able to book their future tree and choose its exact location on a schematic map on the foundation’s official web page and to plant their personal or family trees already on the tree-planting day in October.
The project will promote afforestation in the RA as well as will endow the completion of Tumo center construction in Koghb with the project income.

In November, 2019 "Koghb" foundation and "Boon" Scientific and Cultural Foundation launched a new series of lectures titled "Anatomy of Sovereignty". The speeches will touch upon various aspects of the issue of sovereignty. Sovereignty will be viewed from philosophical, political, anthropological, economic, cultural and educational aspects. The main question is to what extent people and societies will be able to become or remain sovereign in the age of algorithms and data.
Is it dangerous to think and act under total control? The problem is especially relevant in Armenia, where the idea of conspiracy theories woven around us is rooted, and everything happens within the framework of these theories. How to get out of this mess called "trained helplessness"? , a mindset when people do not believe that they and others can make a change.
Project coordinator: Serob Khachatryan
The cooperation established by the Memorandum of Understanding signed between "Koghb" Foundation and "Boon" Scientific and Cultural Foundation in 2017 continued within the framework of the second series of lectures, "What to do? How to do?". The speech series aim to discuss the options to solve the problems that exist today through the practical application of values.
The revolution of values must be followed by the one of ideas, and consequently, the word about values must be followed by the word on specific area-centered ideas and proposals.
Speaker: Arman Barseghyan
