MitMission is MitOst’s annual network gathering being the successor and new format of MitOst Festival. It brings engaged people and practitioners from civil society, arts, culture, social innovation, and public sector together around one thematic focus. For three days, we will create a safer, inclusive, and participatory space to enable new connections, knowledge transfer and exchange of good practices. We will discuss challenges and potentials in the field, as well as celebrate and support the co-creation of new project ideas. This year’s theme is “Small Towns, Bit Impact: Weaving Visions for Co-creative Growth”. Aligned with the thematic focus, the MitMission Hop-In takes place in Vanadzor, a small town in Armenia with an industrial past and challenging social-economic situation.

MitMission Hop-In Vanadzor is organized and hosted by EcoHub Foundation for Sustainable Development and Active Citizenship, a women-led organization based in Armenia which is dedicated to empowering civil society, especially youth in rural areas, with the knowledge, frameworks, and tools needed to contribute to Armenia's development. The mainstream theme of EcoHub’s activities is sustainability and placemaking. It also runs Boo Alternative House training center in the Vanadzor Canyon area.
