“Hear My Voice” Youth Exchange, bringing together 15 young people from rural and refugee communities. 🌍
The project aims to encourage young people’s active participation in social and democratic processes, strengthen their self-confidence, and make their voices heard. 💬💙
Ahead of us are new learning opportunities, cultural exchange, and unforgettable experiences. 🚀💙
This activity was implemented within the framework of the trilateral youth exchange “Hear My Voice / Hör meine Stimme / Լսի՛ր իմ ձայնը/ Écoute ma voix”, with the financial support of the Franco-German Youth Office (OFAJ/DFJW).

The 3rd day of the program was truly an adventure-filled day! ⛰️🚗
Our journey began in the village of Yerznka, where we were warmly welcomed by the @aramazing_camp team. 🏕️ Here, the participants had the chance to test their strength in rock climbing, conquering the artificial climbing wall and building team trust. 🧗♂️🤝
The adventure continued with an off-road trip to Tsaghkevank, a site considered both a historical-cultural and natural wonder. 🚙⛪ Participants learned about the history of the site, enjoyed the surrounding nature, and wrapped up the day with unforgettable impressions. 🌿📸
The 4th day of the program was packed with important meetings, creative teamwork, and vibrant emotions! ✨
The day kicked off with a highly engaging and responsible role-play session titled “Meet the Mayor,” where participants had the unique opportunity to discuss community development issues and present them to decision-makers. 🏛️🤝 Following the session, the participants split into groups and started producing podcasts focusing on youth participation, civic engagement, and the knowledge and skills gained throughout the project. 🎙️💡
To wrap it all up, the evening turned into a fantastic celebration with a Karaoke Night, filled with warmth, laughter, singing, and unforgettable bonding moments! 🎤🎶
🎭✨ Day 5 of the program was dedicated to reflection, achievements, and creativity.
Participants presented their future plans and the creative project ideas they would like to bring to life in the future. 💡🚀
We then reflected on the inspiring journey we had shared, awarded participation certificates, and each participant proudly shared their personal and team achievements. 📜🔄💭
Finally, we said our heartfelt goodbyes, looking forward to meeting again in the future. 🌍❤️
