On June 25 and 27, the Enterprise Incubator Foundation (EIF) conducted regional outreach events under the title “CyberNinja Camp: Mission Syunik” at its Sisian Co-creation Lab and the soon-to-open Agarak Co-creation Lab.

As part of the broader CyberNinja Camp cybersecurity education program, participants from Syunik and in Sisian, also from Lori, led peer-to-peer workshops focused on digital safety. These youth cybersecurity ambassadors shared practical methods for protecting personal data online, discussed common cyberattacks and fraud schemes, and taught attendees how to identify and avoid online threats.

Beyond the workshops, the event featured interactive booths, comic exhibitions, and a VR gaming zone, allowing visitors to explore cybersecurity-themed games and content first-hand.

During the visit to Sisian, EIF representatives from the Gyumri Technology Center also met with Mayor Hovsep Arakelyan to discuss upcoming initiatives and potential collaboration opportunities at the Sisian Co-creation Lab.

In an exciting development for the region, Agarak Co-creation Lab will soon officially open its doors, providing local youth from Agarak and surrounding communities with direct access to creative and tech-based learning opportunities in their hometown.
