Tracing multiculturalism in Famagusta

POST Research Institute is continuing the exploration of the multiculturalism of Cyprus, with Famagusta next on the list on February 5.

The ‘Tours for Peace’, is being implemented in cooperation with the Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot Teachers’ Platform “United Cyprus” (Greek Cypriot Section). The project is being funded by the UNDP-ACT/ USAID through the “ENGAGE” project, which is being executed by the NGO Support Centre and The Management Centre.

This tour will be the second event organised under the project, following the successful tour in Nicosia on January 15, in which over 40 participants from across Cyprus experienced the multicultural history of the divided city.

The next tour aims at taking participants into a historical and cultural journey of Famagusta, focusing on the multicultural aspects of this city.

Organisers say places are limited and priority will be given to participants of the first tour and to teachers, particularly history teachers. The registration deadline is Wednesday  February 2, at 4pm

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
