Anush Mkrtchyan

Currently working as a Spanish teacher, I have a BA in Spanish Language and Literature from Yerevan State University, and a master’s in Intercultural Communication in Spanish, during which I also had the opportunity to study in Spain at the University of Granada. I also earned a second master’s in Human Rights and Democratisation at the Centre for European Studies. As part of my EU4Youth Alumni initiative, I’m working on a youth empowerment project, ‘People First’, that focuses on developing soft skills among forcibly displaced young people from Nagorno-Karabakh, aged 14-25. The initiative is designed to support their integration into Armenian society by helping them build essential communication, teamwork, and leadership skills, which are crucial for both personal development and career competitiveness.
