Hi! My name is Ashkhen Grigoryan and I was born in Armenia – a very challenging country! 😉
I studied languages and social sciences at the Yerevan Brusov State University and graduated in Linguistics and Pedagogy (Bachelor’s degree) and in International Relations (Master’s degree).

Since 2008 I have been a socio-political activist and I have participated in projects on human rights, (grassroots) democracy, and town twinning projects by the EU, the Council of Europe and a variety of foundations – in a nutshell, in tried to experience as much as possible as an enthusiastic young person with the mission “to make the world a better place”.

I lived in in Luxembourg for about nine months and experienced what it means to be refugee first hand.

I am born a struggler and strive to perform as best as I can in a variety of professional settings.

Don’t hesitate to get in touch! 🙂
