Women Leading Change: Professional Development for Community Engagement

Khachpar Village, Ararat Region:  As part of the “Solutions to Important Problems Around the Coffee Table” project, women from Khachpar and neighboring villages came together for a powerful seminar on business etiquette and professional communication.

Led by Nvard Melkonyan, head of the MA Program in Public Relations at Yerevan State University and president of SPRING-PR-Company, the session focused on mastering key skills for professional success—representation at business meetings, effective communication, and boosting self-confidence in the workplace.

Participants gained valuable insights through practical examples and expert guidance, deepening their understanding of how to present themselves professionally and navigate business environments with confidence.

This seminar not only expanded women’s knowledge and skills but also strengthened their potential to take on active roles in community development.

The project was developed and implemented by an ArmeniaCorps participant from Khachpar village, with support from the MuskieAlumni Small Grants Program through the Cultural Vistas ArmeniaCorps Development Initiative.
