Join Vardan Hakobyan for the official launch of the Self Recognition Movement—an Armenian cultural and civic initiative dedicated to preserving and advancing Armenian identity, culture, and shared values. Guided by the message “Know your roots, recognize yourself, and shape our shared future,” the movement seeks to connect Armenians in the homeland and throughout the diaspora through cultural exchange, mutual support, and active participation in national life.
During this special gathering, attendees will learn more about the movement’s mission, principles, and vision for Armenia’s future. The presentation will explore the importance of education, civic responsibility, cultural awareness, and stronger cooperation between Armenia and the diaspora in building a more conscious society and a stronger nation. Guests will also have an opportunity to discover ways to become involved in the movement and its future initiatives.
