🇦🇲🇨🇭 From rebuilding livelihoods to creating new opportunities, the Swiss SEIRA project is helping refugee and host community families across Armenia turn resilience into long-term stability.

During a recent field visit to Gegharkunik and Syunik, we met farmers, entrepreneurs and community members who are growing businesses, strengthening local food systems and building new futures with Swiss support.

The Socio-Economic Integration of Refugees in Armenia (SEIRA) project is funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation SDC and jointly implemented by the Strategic Development Agency NGO and the World Food Programme Armenia.

🇨🇭🇺🇳🇦🇲🤝 Swiss-FAO Partnership for Climate-Resilient Forests in Armenia 🌳🏔️🌱

📌 Switzerland and Armenia continue to strengthen their partnership on climate resilience and sustainable natural resource management. The signing of a new agreement with the FAO Armenia marks an important step in advancing the Forest Restoration and Climate Change in Armenia (FORACCA) project, supporting the establishment of a National Forest Monitoring and Assessment System. This initiative will help address critical data gaps, enabling evidence-based decision-making, stronger forest governance, and more effective climate action across the country.

📌💬 As highlighted by Ambassador Andrea Barbara Baumann, “Through the FORACCA project, Switzerland is supporting Armenia in strengthening climate knowledge, improving forest policy and management practices, and enhancing climate services. This particular partnership with FAO is a strategic investment in supporting Armenia in advancing a more sustainable and climate-resilient future, and meeting its international climate commitments under the Paris Agreement and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change”.

📌 The signing ceremony was followed by the 4th Steering Committee meeting of the forest resilience programme, bringing together national and international partners to review progress and define next steps. Discussions focused on implementation results, coordination, and strategic priorities, reaffirming the importance of collaboration, modern approaches, and strong institutional engagement in advancing Armenia’s forest sector and ensuring long-term environmental and socio-economic impact.

Wir haben uns sehr gefreut, beim Aktionstag Deutsch in Gjumri dabei zu sein.

Zahlreiche Schülerinnen und Schüler sowie Lehrpersonen aus der Region Shirak und aus Jerewan sind dem Ruf in die zweitgrösste Stadt Armeniens gefolgt. Vom Konzert auf der Terrasse über das Singen deutscher Lieder im Hinterhof bis hin zum Märchenerzählen in der Bibliothek bot dieser Tag allen eine Gelegenheit zum Entdecken und Mitmachen.

Am Stand der Schweizer Botschaft entdeckten die Besucherinnen und Besucher mit dem Kleinen Sprachatlas der deutschen Schweiz (https://www.kleinersprachatlas.ch/) spielerisch die sprachliche Vielfalt der Schweiz und die unterschiedlichen schweizerdeutschen Dialekte.

Wir danken dem Goethe Institut Armenien für die Organisation dieses Aktionstags sowie allen Partnerinstitutionen für die hervorragende Zusammenarbeit. Das Berlin ART Hotel in Gjumri bot einen wunderbaren Rahmen für diese Kulturveranstaltung! Dankä, Dangge, Tanka und Merci!

🇨🇭🇦🇲✨ Nous avons eu le plaisir de célébrer la saison de la Francophonie et le 15e anniversaire de l’ouverture de l’Ambassade de Suisse en Arménie à l’occasion d’une soirée culturelle au Musée-Institut Komitas à Erevan, réunissant partenaires et amis autour d’un moment artistique unique.

Placée sous le thème « Un voyage musical et littéraire entre la Suisse et l’Arménie », cette soirée a donné lieu à un dialogue inspirant entre littérature et musique, proposé par l’écrivain Harry Koumrouyan et le pianiste Philippe Boaron. Une rencontre artistique mettant à l’honneur la langue française et les liens culturels qui unissent nos deux pays.

Dans leurs allocutions, le Secrétaire d’État adjoint du Département fédéral des affaires étrangères, Pierre-Yves F*x et l’Ambassadrice Andrea Barbara Baumann ont souligné la qualité des relations de longue date entre la Suisse et l’Arménie ainsi que l’importance de la Francophonie en tant qu’espace de dialogue.

Nos sincères remerciements vont aux artistes suisses, à l’ensemble des invités dont la présence a contribué au succès de cette soirée, au Musée-Institut Komitas, ainsi qu’à nos sponsors, la Fondation Boghossian et Polixis, pour leur précieux soutien dans la réalisation de cet événement.
