Yiannis was one of the 32 Turkish and Greek speaking Cypriots who are credited for "planting the seeds" of the Cyprus peace movement in the early 90s, having introduced thousands in conflict resolution and structured dialogue; a group that became known as "Cyprus Conflict Resolution Trainers Group." In 1996, he pioneered in using technology to "break" the communication wall and support peace builders coordinate and plan their activities, a project that evolved into a portal with UN funding in 2000-2003 and became known as Tech4Peace. HasNa Inc. supported several of Yianni's visions and projects, including a "Young Journalists" Project (2002/), the "Reconciliation Now!" initiative (2003), the "Talk of the Island" (2005) and the "Towards a New Media Landscape" (2007). Overall, these projects reached and empowered thousands of Cypriots. His early years' experiences were documented in his "Masks of Demons" book. In the years following the negative outcome of the 2004 referendum, Yiannis and his team launched the "Civil Society Dialogue project in Cyprus" and provided opportunities for active citizens on both sides to discuss and scientifically analyze the negative outcome. His work has been published in several peered reviewed publications, equipping scientists and analysts with validated data and evidence. | |||
