The Convention of the Future Armenian is based on the internationally recognized and widely used “citizens’ assembly” model of participatory democracy. 200 participants will be selected from a pool of pre-registered citizens by a transparent lottery drawing with a representative sampling method to ensure the representation in the Convention of gender, age and educational groups in society, as well as the participants’ countries and places of residence.
As a result, 100 participants selected from the Homeland and 100 more selected from the Diaspora will have the opportunity to discuss projects aimed at the future of Armenia and Armenians – projects that have undergone expert evaluation. The first convention will be dedicated to three of the 15 goals of the Future Armenian initiative: “Historic Responsibility,” “Armenia-Diaspora Unity” and “Growing Population.”
