Public Speaking Workshop Prepares ArmeniaCorps Participants for Action

To help community leaders advocate for their ideas with confidence, the ArmeniaCorps Development Initiative held a Public Speaking and Presentation Workshop on February 17–18, 2023.

Led by Nvard Melkonyan, co-founder and chair of Spring PR-Company, the workshop equipped participants with essential tools to deliver compelling presentations. Topics included the structure, stages, and ethics of public speaking, as well as the power of effective storytelling.

This hands-on training was designed to prepare participants for the upcoming community project pitching competition, enabling them to clearly communicate the value of their grassroots initiatives and inspire support for local development.

By building their communication skills, ArmeniaCorps participants are not only enhancing their personal capacity but also strengthening their ability to mobilize community resources.

We look forward to seeing their voices—and projects—make a lasting impact.

ArmeniaCorps Development Initiative is developed by USG alumna Hayasa Tahmazyan, funded through the US DOS Public Diplomacy Section grant, and supported by the Masis Community, Ararat region, RA.
