Request not funded

Dear Packa,

We think your presentation sounds like a great idea. However, we're not funding this request because it's not evident that you need to complete a photo tour in Armenia in order to be able to complete the presentation. Since you already have great examples online for Czech municipalities, and since the primary audience will be international across the CEE regions, photos specific to Armenia don't seem essential to sharing your model. If you have additional information to provide to indicate otherwise, please let us know!

Best regards,

Thank you, Mrs. Johnson, for this information. As you can see from the CEE Meeting program in the morning of August 27 all participants will be moved (probably by bus) from Yerevan to Dilijan. They will go near or thru about ten villages and towns, among others Լեռնանիստ (Lernanist), Քաղսի (Kaghsi) and Վարսեր (Varser). So my idea was that for participants would be more interesting and motivating to see the progress in photographing these villages in opposite to Czech villages (for instance Borohrádek, Šachov and Žďár nad Orlicí), which the participants will never see.

Thanks for the follow-up, Packa! It's a nice thought to want to make the presentation more meaningful to participants, but we still think the existing photos of Czech villages will suffice. Though the participants will pass through the Armenian villages en route to Dilijan, it's not a meaningful enough contact to make a significant difference in their experience of your presentation.
