About

Every Wednesday, between 8.30 and 9 am, Danae Psilla and Giorgos Pavlides, discuss issues around the socially constructed concept of "otherness". The show seeks to explore elements of diversity that are portrayed in minorities, groups of people, and individuals that live in Cyprus.

Focus

This show tried to look into how people get to perceive the "other" and the "self", and how this can vary depending on the socio-politico-economic context upon which one finds her or himself in, at a particular moment in time.
