8 cities, 8 days. Reconnecting over 700 Diasporans with Armenia

"Today is an opportunity to move away from a very emotional relationship with Armenia to one that is grounded in the practical, important work for Armenia’s success." These words are straight from Sevan Kabakian's opening speech at every event of the Engage Armenia 2024 European tour, setting the tone for this unique series of gatherings.

Spanning eight European cities from March 6 to March 13, 2024, the tour successfully brought together Armenians from diverse backgrounds to focus on the future of the homeland, fostering a deep and practical engagement. With a remarkable total attendance of over 700 participants across London, Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, Alfortville, Geneva, Lyon, and Marseille, the event underscored a strong, collective desire to connect and contribute meaningfully to Armenia’s future.
