Armenians in 2115: Strategic Directions for the Twenty-First Century

The Armenian Communities Department is rolling out a week-long social media campaign and inviting people to reflect on the following overarching question: How do we create new ways of being Armenian in the 21st Century? This question is informed by the report Armenians in 2115: Strategic Directions for the Twenty-First Century, which was the outcome of a seminar organised in Lisbon for the global Armenian leadership. Prominent leaders, intellectuals and experts attended the seminar to discuss the challenges Armenian people currently face, and are likely to face in the foreseeable future.
During the week leading up to the launch, we will reveal parts of the report accompanied by daily questions which we hope will foster lively debates. The campaign will culminate with the official launch of the report - in English and Armenian - on January 26 in three cities simultaneously: London, Yerevan and Los Angeles.
The report is being launched in partnership with The London School of Economics and Political Science - LSE (Department of Social Policy), University of Southern California (Institute of Armenian Studies), and the American University of Armenia #AUA (the President’s Office). The Civilitas Foundation is providing technical and media support; the social media campaign is being supported by IDeA Foundation and The 100 LIVES.
The overall chair and coordinator of the discussion will be Martin Essayan, Trustee of the Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, participating from London.
