Organizing a Wedding as a Volunteer in Gyumri

1 min read

I volunteer with the Birthright Armenia program, and I can only encourage people to choose the city of Gyumri as a volunteering destination. Gyumri will be perfect to discover the "real Armenia," Yerevan being, in my opinion, more similar to European cities. I am from Paris that is why I was not interested in volunteering in a big city. I had read that the Gyumri office of Birthright Armenia was smaller and therefore, it felt more like a family, which was exactly what I was looking for. Gyumri is also a city where it is easy to meet people and bond with the locals who warmly welcome you as if you were a member of the family.


Volunteering in Gyumri


Regarding my volunteering missions, I volunteer at KASA Foundation Gyumri Center where we teach French to children through games and other fun activities. At the same time, we develop several projects focused on Francophonie, such as cultural cafés. The atmosphere in KASA is very warm and family.


My Volunteer Placements


I also work at Berlin Art Hotel where I had the opportunity to help organize a wedding in Gyumri. I am an Event Coordinator by profession, so I had already organized different types of events but never a wedding! I loved proposing and developing different types of design concepts for the decoration of the wedding and participating in the creative process since everything was almost homemade.
