our vision
At ALTERA LAB, we envision a vibrant, empowered generation of rural youth actively shaping their communities through alternative education, creativity, and civic engagement. As a dynamic youth educational NGO and center, we aim to be a space where learning goes beyond the classroom — a place for self-discovery, skill-building, and collective growth. Rooted in the Aragatsotn region, our mission is to provide non-formal education and development opportunities to young people in rural areas, fostering their intellectual, emotional, and social potential. Through workshops, community initiatives, and creative methods, we cultivate active citizenship, healthy lifestyles, and environmental awareness. Functioning on a social entrepreneurship model — with a guesthouse that supports our sustainability — ALTERA LAB is more than an educational space; it's a growing ecosystem of collaboration, inclusion, and innovation. We are committed to expanding intercultural dialogue, peacebuilding, and the inclusion of vulnerable youth through international best practices in youth work and education. 
We are Always Ready for a Challenge.

At AlteraLab, we believe in the power of youth to shape a better future. From empowering civic participation to fostering intercultural understanding, we are committed to supporting young people across Armenia and beyond. With every project, we challenge ourselves to innovate, include, and inspire — creating meaningful experiences through non-formal education, mobility, and community engagement.
