“Armenian Open Society” is a youth NGO from Yerevan, that promotes active citizenship among young people - both in local and international levels, provides opportunities for youth to participate in different social programs, travel and discover various cultures, stimulates active citizenship, intercultural diversity, social involvement and cultural tolerance - thus creating open, progressive and solidary civil society.
We are involved into social life with a range of local projects that we organize (mostly environmental and art projects, programs of non-formal education, promotional and informational events, etc.), and we are actively establishing international connections with European partners.
“AOS” continuously strengthens international relations between Armenian and European youth, fostering European integration and promoting European values. We are actively continuing our international activity with European partners by sending participants to international mobility projects both in Europe and Armenia. We are persistently continuing our searches for reliable partner organizations and activity-related mobility activities for the further projects.
