Araratbank presents final part of `The Will to Get Back on Your Feet  Again` series

ArmInfo. The premiere of the  documentary film "The Will to Get Back on Your Feet Again:  Self-Respect" took place at Moscow Cinema on December 4. The film  addresses the importance of preserving one's identity in the context  of global hybrid warfare. This is the third and final part of the  trilogy funded by AraratBank.

The first film, "The Will to Get Back on Your Feet Again", primarily  targeted school-age children, offering them an opportunity to delve  into lesser-studied pages of Armenian history and analyze historical  events alongside the author. Meanwhile, "The Will to Get Back on Your  Feet Again: Self-Discovery" focuses on the future and establishes the  motto "Culture, Faith, Purpose," which runs as a common thread  throughout the film and defines the conditions for properly studying  Armenian history.

The methodical teaching manual developed based on the first film is  now successfully used in schools and diaspora educational  institutions by teachers of History, Armenian literature, and  military science. The manual was developed through the joint efforts  of 11 mentor teachers from Tavush and NCEDI Foundation.

The previous two films are available to the public on the official  YouTube channels of film director Vahe Sukiasyan and AraratBank. The  third film will also be made publicly available on the Bank's  official YouTube channel following its premiere.

The project started in 2022 with the release of the first part of the  film and was dedicated to  the most heroic victories of Armenia, betrayals, the will to stand on  your feet after the most severe defeats, and the true reasons for  these defeats. This series was prepared for school students.

According to Anna Allahverdyan, Head of Public Relations and Head of  Social Programs at AraratBank, several months after the film was  shown, the Foundation,  together with 11 teachers from Tavush, developed a teaching aid that  is now used not only in many comprehensive schools in Armenia, but  also in educational centers of the Diaspora. It is mainly used by  teachers of history, basic military training and Armenian literature.

The second film was dedicated to self- knowledge, the target audience  of which were students and older people. Because without knowing  yourself, without knowing your values, it is impossible to understand  what the state, statehood means and to fight for it.

The third film is dedicated to the topic of self-respect. In  particular, the final episode talks about the information war,  through which they try to convince us at any cost of our  helplessness, weakness, about how such concepts as ,  , and have depreciated and ended up in the  for the Armenian people. In this film, Honored Artist of the  RA Artur Karapetyan talks about how to cleanse yourself of  information garbage and start respecting yourself.

Introducing this social project to the audience, Anna Allahverdyan  noted that the success of a financial structure is not only in  financial indicators - in high profits, assets, liabilities, success,  according to her, in social influence.

The director of the film Vahe Sukiasyan himself noted in a  conversation with journalists that only self- respect is the key to  getting back on your feet. He noted that after the 2020 war, the  Armenian people were in a depressed state, which is understandable  and normal. But since the public as a whole has a poor knowledge of  history, is unfamiliar with psychology, and information warfare is  something new, all this had a greater impact on us than it should  have.

Sukiasyan emphasized that we did not lose the war, but found  ourselves in the status of an orphan, abandoned by everyone. , - the director emphasized. 

Chairman of the Board and CEO of AraratBank Mher Ananyan noted in a  conversation with journalists that, by supporting such an important  project, AraratBank trusted the creative team, believing that the  film would be instructive and consistent with the vision and goals of  the Bank. In this vein, he noted that the main goal of the Bank is to  form a person, a society with a national ideology.
