We're proud to announce as the winner of our 2026 Micro-Grant Program.

Directed by Inna Sahakyan and Ruben Ghazaryan (.sunrise), the film is set in a Yerevan retirement home where theater director Garnik stages an original play with a cast of elderly residents.

"Initially a story about the healing power of theater for the elderly, Outliving Shakespeare has grown into a tool for social awareness. We are now committed to making a tangible impact in a society where such conversations are urgently needed," said Vardan Hovhannisyan, founder of Bars Media.

Stories like this deserve a universal audience. We're glad to play a part.

111 Years Since the Armenian Genocide.

For the rest of the world, April 24th is merely a date on a calendar. For Armenians, it’s a collective memory carried by every one of us, in Yerevan, in Los Angeles, in Beirut, in Paris, and everywhere in between.

We remember the 1.5 million lives lost. We stand with those who kept the story alive. And we continue building the bridges that make sure the world never forgets.

Armenia is featured in The Telegraph as a must-visit destination, just as direct flights from Wizz Air are set to launch from London.

Elise Morton () explores how Yerevan combines deep history, a vibrant food scene, and affordability into an ideal long weekend escape that remains largely undiscovered.

“There is a warmth to the city – in the stone, in the people, in the late-night hum of the streets – that stays with you long after you leave. With direct flights imminent, the secret is unlikely to keep for long.”

Suzanna Shamakhyan, executive director of the FAST - Foundation for Armenian Science and Technology, explores how the country is taking a smart, strategic approach to compete on a global level.

In her guest post for Computer Weekly, Shamakhyan writes:
