“Way of Honor” is a model of youth moral and patriotic education. It is based on Warrior’s Code of Honor and includes comparative analyze of Warrior’s Code of Honor of different cultures and main ideals and qualities of Armenian Warrior. The Warrior here means the person, who is devoted for every-moment struggle for Goodness and against Evil, remaining creative and harmonious with the entire world.

Central idea is inspiration of new generation with images of Warrior of different cultures (Armenian Martik, Japanese Samurai, Russian Bogatyr, European Knight, Scandinavian Viking, Toltec’s Warrior, Iranian Pahlevan, Mongolian warriors and Yasa, Caucasian Jigit and others, as well as various historical Warrior Orders – Templars, Hospitallers, Assassins and etc.) and moral-patriotic education on their ideals and Code of Honor:

• To bring up new generation with moral and patriotic lofty ideals of Compassion and Devotion, Purity and Honor Kindness, Patriotism and Feeling of Responsibility;
• To familiarize new generation with main ideas, values and features of historical images of Warrior of different cultures, to promote estimation of real qualities of Warrior;
• To inspire new generation with ideals and personal features of historical heroes;
• To provide perception of Warriors not from the point of view of violence and cruelty, as is going on very often, but as the personification of struggle for the Good and against the Evil;
• To promote mental, moral and spiritual development of new generation: to develop imagination, fantasy and skills of cooperation and mutual understanding;
• To strengthen youth relationship with the Motherland, to facilitate youth familiarization and estimation of Armenian historical heritage and national values;
• To increase state and public attention towards the necessity of education as the main base for development;
• To increase authority and educational activity of the National Army.

Program includes:

• "Code of Honor" lectures and presentations in schools and universities (supposed to be organized in Army also),
• "Code of Honor" specially developed trainings for various groups of children and youth,
• Many-sided school-camp for various groups of children and youth,
• Cultural-educational contests on Code of Honor (Tournaments),
• Cultural-educational mass events /exhibitions, contests, flash-mob and etc./.

          The other point of the program is Elite Club "Who is an Armenian", aimed on perception of the main points of Armenian Identity and revelation of Armenians' ways for development.

          As a part of the project we have developed "Testament of Hayk Nahapet" with a hope, that it will serve as a moral direct guide for all Armenians.

In order to provide restoration of Hayk's spirit in all Armenians the Testament should be spread at first in Armenian schools: both in Republic of Armenian and Diaspora, as well as in all Armenian organizations, offices and etc., which will encourage Armenian national Renaissance.

We suppose assistance of all Armenian patriots and benefactors for realization of this important national mission, and thus ask for support for this God-pleasing program.
