The first TEDxChange event in Armenia took place on April 6, 2013 at InnSerenity yoga retreat center in Aghtsk village.

The participants kicked off the event with an outdoor yoga session to re-balance their mind, body, and spirit.

Meanwhile, the others walked to Arshakid’s tomb constructed in the middle of 5th century.

A word about our speakers! The speaker line-up included an environmentalist interested in appropriate technology, a head of programs at a non-profit, a media and development aid professional, and a musician passionate about social justice, innovation and spiritual development.

Our wonderful host, past TEDxYerevan speaker, Madlene Minassian, opened the event inviting audience to challenge preconceived ideas and actively engage in conversation!
