    My Armenian family & me

Hi, I'm Amandine. I'm French, with Italian roots. First, no links with Armenia.
Thanks to the Erasmus Mundus Program I went to Gyumri for 5 months. 5 months is a very short period, but I think it's enough to be linked with Armenia for life!

I was a volunteer for the City Research Center NGO.

I was a student in the University of Angers, Master of Culture, Art and Heritage Management when my Professor proposed to the students to fill a form for the Erasmus Mundus Program. It was a special mobility grant for a 5 months stay in the South Caucasus.
Two destinations: Bakou-Azerbaidjan or Gyumri-Armenia.
I chose Gyumri, State Pedagogical Institute. The Commission in Brussels selected me. Let's go to Gyumri!
