Ucom Supports the DemArDem 2026 Regional Youth Forum

With the support and active participation of Ucom, the annual regional forum “DemArDem: Dialogue of Generations” was held in Vagharshapat. The forum is organized by the NGO “Children of the Regions”. 

The event took place at the Komitas Cultural Palace in Vagharshapat and brought together more than 800 teenagers and young people from all regions of Armenia and Javakhk, along with experienced professionals, successful entrepreneurs, and representatives of the intellectual community.

The forum is held in a “reverse” format, where the older generation listens to the youth. Eight young speakers shared their unique experiences and inspiring stories on topics such as “To Be or Not to Be a Friend of AI,” “The Brain as a National Resource,” “An Armenian Robot Beyond the Ocean,” and others. The speakers had spent a month preparing their presentations with professional mentors, including the Head of Ucom Academy. 

“At Ucom, we place great importance on empowering young people and expanding access to technological education in the regions. The DemArDem forum is a powerful example of how young people can not only learn, but also inspire the older generation. We are proud to support this initiative, as fostering constructive dialogue between generations is one of the most meaningful contributions to our country’s long-term development,” said Ralph Yirikian, General Director of Ucom.

A Ucom booth was also set up at the venue, where young participants engaged in themed intellectual games, took photos at an AI-powered photo booth, and learned more about the company’s activities and its Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives.

“For the third time, DemArDem has demonstrated the immense potential of young people living in the regions — when they are simply trusted and given a platform to express themselves. Thanks to partners like Ucom, this voice becomes more visible and creates a genuine connection between generations. However, our work does not end with the forum. Our NGO operates in the regions throughout the year, working closely with them. Over the course of the year, we organize educational camps and intergenerational initiatives across all regions of Armenia,” said Aramayis Margaryan, President of the “Children of the Regions”  NGO.

Throughout the forum, an exhibition of projects created and led by young participants was showcased. A panel discussion titled “Child Development and the Future: What Is Our Role?” was held, along with competitions and interactive activities.

At the end of the event, Ucom presented gifts and prizes to the winners of the intellectual competition and to the forum speakers. The forum concluded with a concert by Tmbata band.
