The '''Cyprus Peace and Dialogue Center''' (CPDC) is a group of Turkish and Greek speaking individuals who share the understanding that a comprehensive solution to the Cyprus problem based on the Bicommunal Bizonal Federation model is required as a matter of urgency for the safeguarding of the island’s future. The network combines skills and experiences from diverse domains including history, sociology, education, peace-building and negotiation, international relations, policy, and civil society; all steadfast in a life-long commitment to lasting peace in Cyprus. 

CPDC's approach places equal emphasis on the need for courageous political leadership alongside inclusive, cross-community grassroots cooperation. We are not affiliated with any political party nor governmental body in Cyprus or beyond.

==Vision==
A united bi-communal, bi-zonal federal state based on political equality, regardless of ethnic, racial or linguistic background, nationality, gender, or any other status. A Cyprus that adopts a culture of peace at all levels, and which serves as a model of justice and peaceful co-existence to the wider region and beyond.

==Mission==

CPDC brings together key stakeholders, leading personalities and organisations from the two communities in Cyprus, to revisit and build on existing mechanisms, and find new creative modalities for long-lasting peace.

==Aims==

# To establish mechanisms to support cultural, socio-economic, and political steps towards a comprehensive solution to the Cyprus issue, based on the bi-communal, bi-zonal federation model.
# To engage experienced individuals, including key politicians, negotiators and third parties in non-public discourse and policy planning.
# Designing and implementing workshops and trainings at a grassroots level aiming to foster trust building and cultural reconciliation.
# To create public awareness and understanding of a culture of peace and federalism through cross-communal dialogue, events and activities.
# To leverage and facilitate new opportunities for cooperation and networking amongst grassroots peace initiatives and civil society actors.
# To promote the benefits of a united Cyprus to a wide range of sectors and private businesses, and to facilitate inter-group business collaboration.
