How do Armenian communities stay connected across borders and generations? 🌍 🇦🇲

We’re back with another HyeConnect event! 🚀

“Roots and Routes: A Discussion on Armenian Diaspora Networks” brings together leading experts and practitioners to explore how Armenian communities stay connected across generations and borders. The conversation will delve into the contemporary dynamics of the Armenian diaspora, tracing how shared roots continue to shape new routes of connection.

It will also critically examine the idea of a “Network Nation,” asking what truly connects Armenians across the globe and how technology, culture, and identity influence trust, belonging, and the evolving boundaries between Armenia and Diaspora.
