In 1995, the [[Fulbright Commission]], in collaboration with the [[Cyprus Conflict Resolution Trainers Group]], organized and funded a U.S.-based training program for about twenty young journalists from both communities in Cyprus. In 1996, the U.S. Embassy funded a one-day trip to Brussels for prominent chief editors from various Cypriot media organizations, where they received up-to-date information regarding EU regulations, challenges and opportunities in the field of journalism. While both of these projects helped to form linkages and friendships between colleagues working across the Green Line, neither included any defined structures or follow-up activities to support continued interaction and collaboration among the journalists after their return to Cyprus. | In 1995, the [[Cyprus Fulbright Commission]], in collaboration with the [[Cyprus Conflict Resolution Trainers Group]], organized and funded a U.S.-based training program for about twenty young journalists from both communities in Cyprus.
