Find out how Great Mher found his Hreghen - his wonderful, fiery, magical horse.

How wise Armaghan was freed from the White Dev.

How Lisping Tavit was tongue-tied when he met his match - the gorgeous warrior princess Khandout Khatoun.


Each session will be built around an episode from the epic.
There will be engaging activities drawing on the young people’s imagination, working with visualising, sequencing, self-expression, listening - essential skills for storytelling and life!
And they will be left with vivid images from this life-affirming, funny, profound, essentially Armenian epic!
