Armenia is going through profound and rapid changes, from its fast-developing economy to evolving social norms, and a renewed political agenda. These changes are happening without any general consensus, both inside and outside Armenia, on the country’s roadmap for the next ten, let alone fifty years.

What is the role of the diaspora in this landscape? How can more of the diaspora engage more with Armenia?

This panel discussion will explore the relationships between the diaspora, those living in Armenia, and the state. The speakers will bring elements of context to examine an ever-evolving diaspora.

This event is held in collaboration with the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and The Armenia Project, a non-profit educational organisation that bridges the communication gap between Armenia and the international community.

This event is also part of Heritage of Displacement: Oral Histories from the UK Armenian Communities (2023–2026), funded by a National Lottery Heritage Fund grant, thanks to National Lottery players.

This is a hybrid event.
