Ready to reconnect with Armenia? Canada, it's your turn 🍁
To see what's coming, look at last year's forum in Germany.

Over 5 days, we crossed five cities: Munich, Frankfurt, Cologne, Hamburg, and Berlin, where 13 organizations and 410+ diaspora Armenians came together to turn feeling into action: volunteering and mentorship, social-impact investment, healthcare, business, culture, and repatriation.

Now that journey comes to you, dear community in Canada:
📍 Toronto — October 22
📍 Montréal — October 24 & 25

🙌 You don’t need to pack up your entire life to make a real impact in Armenia.

The idea that returning to the homeland has to be an all-or-nothing, permanent move holds a lot of Diaspora Armenians back. But contribution isn't a finish line; it’s a continuum.

🤔Whether it’s a 2-week technical fellowship, remote mentorship, or a part-time project, high-impact short-term engagement is one of the most powerful ways to transfer skills, build networks, and drive real progress on the ground.
