STRUCTURE | |||
We are in the process of developing a thought-provoking structured set of questions that are brought to people informally in the streets or arranged in the studio. The questions are focused, but leave room for unpredictable responses that make interviews both exciting and serious. Additionally, we are developing a well-structured web site. | |||
The following questions and topics are examples of hyperlinks that can be clicked in order to listen to a series of 5-30 interviews from the streets of Cyprus. | |||
Examples of questions posed up to this point: | |||
• I believe… | |||
• If I could change one thing about Cyprus it would be… | |||
• If I had one million Cypriot Pounds I would… | |||
• In the year 2025 Nicosia will be… Cyprus will be… … Europe will be… the Middle East will be… Africa will be… the US will be… the world will be… | |||
• If I woke up tomorrow and the UN peacekeeping troops were gone, my first reaction would be… | |||
Examples of topics posed and those possible: | |||
• Island-wide cooperation | |||
• Interviews with individuals who were involved in the bi-communal youth movement and how their involvement has affected their lives | |||
• European Union related | |||
• Mothers interview their daughters | |||
• Grandchildren interview their grandparents | |||
• When was the first time you crossed the buffer-zone after 1974? | |||
• Growing up, what were things you were encouraged to believe about people of your cultural heritage? | |||
The website could easily include an interactive map (“Cyprus Stories on the Road” and for other countries if funded) through which visitors can click on different areas of the island/country to hear audio from those locations. | |||
