Exploring Armenian-Iranian Heritage: A Cultural and Linguistic Field Study in Armenia Syllabus
Armenia and Iran share centuries of historical interaction, from the pre-Zoroastrian period to modern times. Cultural influence is visible on both sides: Iran hosts many Armenian churches, while Armenia preserves strong historical and cultural ties with Iran. This field trip explores these connections through visits to key historical sites, monuments, and museums across Armenia. Students will visit important sites daily, tracing Iranian influence from antiquity to recent periods. The program combines historical exploration with active Persian language practice, helping students improve speaking skills in real contexts. By the end, students will better understand Armenia-Iran relations, expand vocabulary related to history, culture, and religion, and communicate more confidently in Persian through discussions and guided activities.
