Ucom Supports the “DemArDem 2026” Regional Youth Forum
The annual regional forum “DemArDem: Dialogue of Generations” will once again take place with the support of Ucom.
The event is organized by the Children of Regions in Regions NGO (CRR). To foster intergenerational dialogue, around 400 teenagers and young people from all regions of Armenia will gather in one place, alongside approximately 200 experienced professionals and successful entrepreneurs.
At the heart of the forum are eight youth speakers who will take the stage to share their unique experiences and inspiring stories. Each of them will work with a professional mentor to help prepare a well-structured and impactful speech.
The “DemArDem 2026” forum, scheduled for March 28 at the Komitas Culture Palace in Vagharshapat, will feature an exhibition of projects created and managed by teenagers, thematic panel discussions, competitions, and other interactive activities. The forum will conclude with a festive concert.
“Ucom, as a leading telecommunications operator in Armenia, attaches great importance to unlocking the potential of young people in the regions and expanding access to educational and technological opportunities. The company consistently supports initiatives that contribute to youth development and foster constructive dialogue between generations,” said Ralph Yirikian, General Director of Ucom.
The event has already become one of the most anticipated annual gatherings for hundreds of teenagers from the regions and leading professionals from various fields. This year, interest in the forum has been unprecedented: more than 600 applications were submitted within just 48 hours of the registration opening, from all regions of Armenia and Javakhk.
“By organizing this regional forum for the third year in a row, we are proving that wisdom knows no age limits, and teenagers can also inspire and motivate the older generation through their experiences and ideas. This annual platform is not only a source of inspiration but also a real space for meaningful dialogue between generations,” said Aramayis Margaryan, President of the "Children of the Regions" NGO.
Participation in the forum is available by registration here.
