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.

In sum, the HasNa Young Journalists Project was specifically designed to put a more defined post-training structure in place than had earlier projects targeting journalists. The follow-up phase was critical to sustaining the "transformation" of the participants and their regular interaction, evidenced by the regular bicommunal meetings, the publication of the [[HasNa Journal]], and a very active online discussion group. | In sum, the HasNa Young Journalists Project was specifically designed to put a more defined post-training structure in place than had earlier projects targeting journalists.
