✺ Diana Chobanyan is a project manager, facilitator, and instructional designer passionate about creating spaces for growth and connection.

3 reasons why we meet in Armenia for the 22nd MitOst Festival 🇦🇲

1️⃣ A region in transformation.
The South Caucasus and Eastern Europe are going through profound changes, politically and socially. Civil society is navigating geopolitical tensions, shrinking civic space, and the ongoing impact of Russia’s war against Ukraine — while at the same time experimenting with new forms of cooperation, care, and resilience.

2️⃣ Armenia as a space for dialogue and possibility.
At this crossroads, Armenia is advancing democratic reforms and increasingly positioning itself as a place for regional exchange. Taking place ahead of the 2026 parliamentary elections, we hope the Festival offers a timely and meaningful setting to come together and reflect.

3️⃣ Engaged community.
What makes MitOst Festivals truly special are the local hosts deep knowledge of their context. EcoHub Foundation is part of MitOst since 2013 and represented in the MitOst Executive Board since 2022 and bring knowledge, strong networks, and openness — creating a space for genuine exchange, connection, and collaboration.

The MitOst Festival goes to Armenia from 17–20 September 2026! ❤️

While we were still in Chișinău, it was clear that the spirit of the MitOst Festival would continue beyond that moment. The conversations, connections, and shared energy carried us forward and with them, a promise was made to meet again. We are happy to host the 22nd Festival – and celebrate our 30th anniversary! – in collaboration with the local hosts and one of our long standing partners, EcoHub Foundation.

We’re looking forward to gather in a different context to explore new perspectives and conversations.

📌 Registration will open very soon! Until then, we invite you to book these dates in your calendar and stay tuned.

The MitOst Board came together in Berlin for two intensive and inspiring days of exchange, reflection, and planning. The meeting created space to reflect on a shared vision, clarify ways of collaboration, and shape priorities for the year ahead. It reaffirmed a strong sense of trust and shared responsibility, as well as a collective commitment to developing MitOst as a living, vibrant, and connected network. 🪢

Some key highlights:

✨ Taking time to reflect on what motivates each board member individually — and what unites them — reaffirming why the network and its values matter now and in the years ahead.

✨ Shaping the narrative of the MitOst Festival 2026 in Armenia by co-creating the program and identifying concrete next steps for the months to come.

✨ Engaging in thoughtful conversations about the future of MitOst, with a strong focus on strengthening member engagement and developing initiatives such as the Co-Shapers.

✨ Agreeing on next steps and milestones to ensure continuity and strong collaboration between the Board and the wider MitOst community.

Grateful to Christina, Olha, Yana, Stelios, Andreea, Annegret, Serra and Uta for your dedication and wonderful work — we’re excited for what’s ahead 💛
