On November 24, 2025, the active young volunteers of the Aghstafa Youth House “Social Service Institution” paid a familiarization visit to the administrative building of the “Keshikchidag” State Historical and Cultural Reserve. Within the scope of the visit, the volunteers first viewed a small museum-type display located in the administrative building, consisting of material cultural artifacts discovered in the area, and were informed about their historical functions and scientific significance. The staff of the reserve provided the youth with detailed explanations regarding the scientific research and archaeological excavations carried out in the Keshikchidag Kurgan Valley, as well as their role in studying the Middle Bronze, Late Bronze–Early Iron Age culture of the region. As the visit continued, a round-table discussion was held in the administrative building with the participation of the volunteers, where information about the archaeological and architectural monuments located within the reserve was presented. Participation of volunteers in archaeological summer schools and the contribution of this process to the development of their scientific and practical skills were also discussed. The main aim of the event is to increase young people’s interest in national cultural heritage, encourage their involvement in archaeological research, and broaden their knowledge of local historiography.
