Amila holds a Bachelor degree in Political Science and a Master of Science Degree in European Affairs from Lund University in Sweden. Her interest in the European Union began in 2017 after completing the Euroscola program at the European Parliament in Strasbourg. The interest grew exponentially over the years, especially for EU actors in the Western Balkans and Eurasia. This in turn resulted in her writing a Master’s Thesis about the EU’s security actorness in Armenia through the EU’s CSDP mission EUMA. During a study trip to Minsk in 2019 and whilst working on a project on youth empowerment and democratic activism in the Palestinian West Bank in 2020, Amila was allowed to experience how parts of the EU’s Neighbourhood Policy can be implemented into practice. During her internship at the Embassy of Sweden in Armenia 2022-2023, she gained more experience and knowledge about the bilateral cooperation between the countries and between the EU and Armenia.
