The '''Civil Society Dialogue''' project was envisioned, designed and implemented by Cypriot peace pioneers, mainly members of the [[Cyprus Conflict Resolution Trainers Group]] following the negative outcome of the referendum in 2004. The project brought together civil society organisations from both sides of the island to share experiences and work to create a Citizens’ Platform where ideas are discussed and an Action Plan is devised to build the new reunited Cyprus. Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot citizens having years of bi-communal experience will come together with other less experienced but young, well educated and motivated individuals to share experiences and ideas as well as to generate their vision of the island. | The '''Civil Society Dialogue''' project was envisioned, designed and implemented by Cypriot peace pioneers, mainly members of the [[Cyprus Conflict Resolution Trainers Group]] following the negative outcome of the referendum in 2004.

The Civil Society Dialogue project organized several sessions of facilitator trainings for the Structured Dialogic Design Process. The first training session, which was held in April 2007, was given by Dr. Aleco Christakis who is one of the founding fathers of the methodology. The second session was organized in May 2007, which mostly focused on using CogniScope software - a specifically designed software for conducting SDDP. Facilitator trainees simulated a co-laboratory during the first training and played the roles of participant as well as facilitator, whereas in the second training they explored the software and formed their facilitation groups (cohorts).<br> | The Civil Society Dialogue project organized several sessions of facilitator trainings for the Structured Dialogic Design Process.

An '''Environmental Symposium''' was organized on the 12th January 2008 at Colony Hotel in Keryneia. Together with the KTMMOB Chamber of Environmental Engineers, the Civil Society Dialogue project organized an environmental symposium with the aim of bringing together environmental groups from both communities. This event provided an opportunity for leading non-governmental Cypriot organizations to point out alarming environmental problems Cypriots are facing as well as raising awareness of environmental issues and calling for action from all Cypriots to work together in facing this global crisis. The selected Cypriot environmental NGOs who participated in the event, presented their papers on specific environmental issues with the objective of building an “environmentally friendly community”.<br> | An '''Environmental Symposium''' was organized on the 12th January 2008 at Colony Hotel in Keryneia.
