SHORT SUMMARY

Your voice matters, but it can only be heard if you're given the chance. This project is about giving every young person the freedom to dream. I truly believe that music has the power to bring people together, to heal, and to inspire. It’s important because every voice deserves to be heard, and every young person should have a real opportunity to grow and develop their talents.

IMPACT

In just 12 months, we will bring this vision to life:

• A professional studio in Yerevan, where young people will learn everything from the basics of vocal training to the art of stage performance.
• A creative community for displaced youth from Artsakh, offering them a space for artistic expression and psychological support. It’s important to highlight that all training for this vulnerable group will be completely free of charge.
• A series of public concerts, where participants will showcase their growth and achievements.

What we have already achieved:

• Some of my students have already won awards in both local and international competitions.

PROBLEM

In Armenia, hundreds of talented young people remain "invisible" due to a lack of financial and professional resources. The loss of Artsakh has only deepened this issue, stripping thousands of young people of their creative spaces. Today, when culture has become our weapon of resilience, this project has the power to preserve the voice of an entire generation.

SOLUTION

1. Studio Launch – A rented space for lessons and practice.
2. Lessons & Mentorship – One-on-one sessions with an experienced instructor, developing individual repertoires.
3. Stage Experience – Participation in concerts and competitions, giving participants a real opportunity to establish themselves in the industry.

Impact: The project has already transformed the lives of many young people. They now believe in their potential and are taking their first steps toward building a stable career in the field.
