In February 2020, AVC conducted two online events popularizing Armenian heritage worldwide. The first was a virtual visit to the Public Radio of Armenia guided by famous the head of the Armenian Radio Archive, singer Arthur Ispirian. Throughout the online tour popularized the rich heritage and history of the national radio station, exposed the treasures of its Golden Fund, and uncovered the current projects of the Public Radio.

The second event held on the 21st of February was dedicated to the International Mother Language and introduced the oldest functioning Armenian school in Diaspora, namely Armenian College and Philanthropic Academy of Kolkata, India. The event highlighted the valuable contribution of Armenian schools and churches in preserving our mother tongue outside of Armenia and demonstrated the enthusiasm of young generations in communicating in their native language, which makes them feel more attached to their roots and solidifies their Armenian identity.

People left personal testimonials about experiencing AVC and the College in Kolkata and expressed heartfelt appreciation of the activities of these establishments.
