"UNISON" Non-Governmental Organization (NGO)

"Unison" NGO for the support of people with special needs was founded on May 22, 2002.

Over the past years, the organization has been actively engaged in activities, has had numerous achievements, and has implemented various programs for the disabled. The second direction of "Unison"'s activities is the development of Armenian Internet resources. In particular, we have created and maintain the virtual museums of Aram Khachaturian and Komitas Vardapet.

In order to make the lives of the disabled full, our organization provides a number of services: fine arts and computer courses, legal and psychological counseling. The organization also supports the disabled in employment issues. Since December 2006, the first Independent Living Center in Armenia has been operating at "Unison", and since May 2008, the Employment Center for the Disabled.

The organization regularly monitors the accessibility of cultural centers, polling stations, courts and other public facilities. Since 2007, Unison has been conducting election observation missions.

The organization regularly organizes round tables, seminars, press conferences, actions, exhibitions, sociological surveys and assessments of the needs of beneficiaries. About 30 disabled people included in Unison have participated in international conferences, concerts and other events.

We publish numerous manuals, brochures, posters, newspapers, which are provided to state bodies, NGOs, international organizations, media, libraries, educational institutions, other interested institutions and individuals. Unison has shot a number of videos and social clips, which have been shown on leading TV channels.
