TUMO Center for Creative Technologies (TUMO) is an educational powerhouse that operates at the intersection of education, creativity and technology. Since its founding in 2011, TUMO has set up an Armenia-wide free-of-charge after-school programme that puts teenagers in charge of their own learning. TUMO trains weekly over 22,000 students across Armenia in its TUMO centres and TUMO Boxes.

TUMO has developed a learning program that is made up of self-learning activities, workshops and project labs around 14 learning targets. Teens combine these into personal learning paths that adapt to their evolving preferences and rate of progress.

TUMO is now expanding to Kapan to empower teens in the Syunik region. TUMO Kapan is the latest addition to the network of TUMO centres and will be located in the previous Kapan Railway Station, a historic building dating from 1932.
The TUMO Kapan project is supported by the European Union’s Resilient Syunik Team Europe initiative (which contributes to the sustainable socioeconomic and institutional development of the Syunik region in line with local development priorities) via a grant provided to the Municipality of Kapan as well as donors Judith Saryan and Victor Zarougian.
