The U.S. Embassy in Azerbaijan opened the Kurdemir American Corner, located in Kurdemir’s Central Library on July 19.
Ambassador Robert Cekuta attended the opening ceremony, delivering brief remarks about the importance of the American Corner as a resource for the local community.
Representatives of Kurdemir’s Executive Committee and Ministry
of Culture were also present.
Cekuta presented new equipment, technology and materials to the
library, as well as a gift of books for Kurdemir’s Central Library.
He also met with future users of the Kurdemir American Corner to
speak with them about their goals, and how the resources at the
American Corner can help them and benefit their community.
The American Corner in Kurdemir is now open for language learning
and educational programming.
The American Corner Program, which includes a flagship Baku
American Center at the Azerbaijan University of Languages and
regional American Corners in Kurdemir, Ganja, Salyan, Sheki and
Xachmaz, is an excellent resource for Azerbaijanis looking to
improve their English, access information about the U.S., learn
more about educational or exchange opportunities, or participate in
innovative high-tech projects at the Maker Space.
The corners offer lectures, conversation clubs, and a variety of
other activities, as well as free internet and computer access for
everyone in the community.
