Yerevan, Armenia (April 8, 2024) - The Office of the High Commissioner for Diaspora Affairs of the Republic of Armenia continues to implement the annual Diaspora Youth Ambassador program (Training for Diaspora Armenian Youth Leaders), which is open to youth both active in the community and those just starting out with their activities. The program aims to enable Diaspora Armenian youth to expand their views on Armenia’s political, social, economic and other issues, support their greater involvement in community life, and increase the efficiency of their activities, through the transfer of new knowledge and skills, fostering connections, exchanging experiences, as well as, contributing to the formation and development of collaboration between youth from various Diaspora communities and Armenia.

The program extends over a period of one year, from September 2024 to August 2025, and consists of two stages.

A 15-day course will take place in Armenia from September 22 to October 7, 2024. Throughout the rest of the year, each participant will undertake activities outlined by the program within their respective communities.
