My name is Margarita Vardanyan, I am 25 years old. I was born and raised in Yerevan (Armenia) but moved to Klaipeda (Lithuania) in 2017 to study International relations and development studies. I currently work as a financial specialist at the German company Flink.

From the first day of my arrival I showed great interest in the work in the Armenian community. I was happy to share all my knowledge about our traditional folk dances with children and youth born and raised in Lithuania. To this day, I continue to work closely with the VAN community in the role of folk dance teacher and project leader. My main goal is to connect Armenians to the community, culture and especially to Armenia.
