Celebrating cultures

Over the last two years The Grammar School Nicosia has participated in the Comenius Multilateral School Partnership project, Differences Unite Us. The major aims of the partnership were to promote active citizenship, multiculturalism and encouragement for greater tolerance and acceptance of different cultures. The Grammar School Nicosia partnered with schools from Slovakia, Lithuania, Turkey and Czech Republic. The partnership satisfies the thematic areas of active citizenship, the fight against racism and xenophobia and European citizenship and European dimension.

The Grammar School Nicosia is organising the closing meeting of the project’s partnership from Sunday until Friday. During the meeting the school will host a number of teachers and students from the four partner countries and engage in a number of activities at the school and elsewhere. These activities include discussions and presentations on the issues and products of the partnership, lectures by guest speakers and educational visits to important sites around Cyprus.

The school invites us to take part in these events and join them in the effort to celebrate multicultural societies and stand up against discrimination.

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.
