With the blessing of His Holiness Karekin II, Catholicos of All Armenians, and under the leadership of ACYOWorld spiritual leader, Archbishop Hovnan Derderian, the Central Office of the Armenian Church World Youth Union (ACYOWorld) frequently organizes regional forums.
ACYOWorld has eight regions: Armenia, Russia and the CIS countries, Europe, South America, North America, the Middle East and Africa, India and the Far East, Australia and New Zealand.
ACYOWorld regional forums provide church-loving young people with the opportunity to jointly assess the needs of young people, define forms of Christian youth work, and develop mechanisms for involving local youth in spiritual and church life. Regional forums are also an important platform for young people to get to know each other better, work together, exchange experiences, dialogue and cooperation, and are a viable tool for establishing strong inter-diocesan ties.
