@lilitmidoyan has a similar take on Armenian youth, she thinks there is a deep lack of hope coming into full manifestation ever since Electric Yerevan, which itself followed 10 years of (mostly) unsuccessful activism in the country. We discussed it in depth these days - it is heartbreaking… the question was: how can we turn the pessimism into an opportunity to break through? can new energies be found?
Lilit I hope you have the time to read Hazem. Hazem was a community mobilizer back in the days, for Spot the Future, and now leading efforts in 6 countries. He is also one of the first movers into a new community space we are finding in Morocco, where people from all over will join to roll out new projects (sustainable!). It could be that in such a community space (private, not a public space like in Yerevan) freedom and hope can be found or regained.
