Shushanik Manukyan

As a Teach For Armenia alumni ambassador, my journey has been shaped by the belief that education is our most powerful response to crisis. Having served as a Fellow in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) and later working with displaced children in Armenia, I am deeply committed to Education in Emergencies. Currently, I serve as a consultant for the LEAD4Shirak project in Gyumri, where I focus on educational programs - improving educational environments and empowering communities.

I became a Network Connector to bridge the gap between local impact and global collaboration - an idea sparked by a friendship with a Teach For Portugal Fellow years ago. I am particularly passionate about preparing our students for a future dominated by AI and shifting job markets. Beyond my professional work, I enjoy preserving Armenian culture through traditional lullabies and am currently planning a book to document my experiences during the war.
