On August 22, 2025, the closing ceremony of Mesrobian School’s summer OASIS program took place at the Hovhannes Boghossian Theater, in the presence of the parents of the participating youth, members of the organizing staff and friends.
Thus, OASIS completed the 25th year of its foundation and operation, establishing itself more effectively as the best environment for youth summer vacations in the Armenian community of Lebanon.
This year’s OASIS lasted for 8 weeks, during which the participating children and teenagers were engaged in sports and other games, drawing, handicrafts, singing and dancing in different groups. The program included numerical competence training in collaboration with the SEMAS company, as well as Friday entertainment programs and tours. The 130 participants of the program, which is a competitive number, were divided into 6 groups, which were named after Armenian historical places: Artsakh, Shushi, Van, Mush, Ani and Sis.
The young participants of the closing ceremony presented a magnificent artistic program with dances representing the cultures of different nationalities, national-patriotic songs and sports demonstrations, as well as a video about the 25-years history of OASIS. The ceremony was conducted using Artificial Intelligence tools which foreshadows the introduction of this technology in the programs of the coming years.
In his closing speech, Mesrobian’s Principal, Mr. Gregoire Kaloust, expressed his satisfaction that "the OASIS summer program continues with the same enthusiasm and efficiency, which is a clear message that all educational activities under Mesrobian's roof will continue uninterruptedly and, moreover, develop over time." The Principal noted that the great success of OASIS also confirms the will of the Lebanese people to live and create, despite all difficulties. Mr. Kaloust highly appreciated the dedication of the organizers, all staff members and assistants of OASIS to achieve the best possible result. The event ended with a joyful atmosphere which is typical of Oasis, with a strengthening of hope and faith in the future and a desire to meet again next summer.
