In 2016 “Koghb” Foundation together with the “Simonian” educational Foundation undertook the “TUMOxKoghb” project according to which TUMO center for creative technologies is being built in the frontier territory Koghb. The center, which is to serve the youth from Noyemberyan, Koghb, Berdavan, and more than 10 neighboring frontier communities, is designed for 1.000 students.
According to the memorandum, the total budget of the project (including operational costs until 2025) is equal to about 3 million USA dollars.
This center, where the itinerant coaches from all 4 TUMO centers as well as invited coaches from abroad are to teach, will follow the basic educational program of the TUMO center. 

Together with "Center for Civilization and Cultural Studies", we are carrying out a series of "Combined" speeches, which aims to invite speakers with opposing positions at first sight to combine their positions. The series is led by Anna Gevorgyan, a senior researcher at the CCCS.

In November, 2019 "Koghb" foundation and "Boon" Scientific and Cultural Foundation launched a new series of lectures titled "Anatomy of Sovereignty". The speeches will touch upon various aspects of the issue of sovereignty. Sovereignty will be viewed from philosophical, political, anthropological, economic, cultural and educational aspects. The main question is to what extent people and societies will be able to become or remain sovereign in the age of algorithms and data.
Is it dangerous to think and act under total control? The problem is especially relevant in Armenia, where the idea of conspiracy theories woven around us is rooted, and everything happens within the framework of these theories. How to get out of this mess called "trained helplessness"? , a mindset when people do not believe that they and others can make a change.

The project coordinator is Serob Khachatryan.

The project of creating an agricultural incubator in Tavush province came to life as a result of the cooperation between “Koghb” foundation and “Refruit” LLC. The main goals of the project are:

✅ To organize a united system for marketing and the consumption of these products.
✅To finance the ongoing expenses (including the TUMO center construction in Koghb community) by the means accumulated in the result of agricultural incubator’s activity.

On the initiative of Koghb Foundation and by Noyemberyan community's Council's decision Koghb Music School was named in honor of the great composer Tigran Mansuryan.
