Work: The major objective of the workcamp is to preserve this historical site for the future generations, to keep it in worthy conditions to allow the visitors to be spiritually enriched and to contemplate the beauty and the splendour of this monument, to support the staff of the Museum of the Zvartnots Cathedral in matters of maintaining the territory and fulfilling different types of work necessary in the particular moment. Activities for the volunteers are as follows: - Maintenance of the territory - removing the over-grown grass, weeds. - National sounds of Zvartnots learning Armenian national dances, songs. - Cultural program My impressions about Patrimonito.
