The project "Education for a Culture of Peace as a Means for Reconciliation in Cyprus" is a three-year project that started on July 6, 2014. The project is implemented by the POST RI Research Center and the Historical Dialogue and Research Group and is funded by the European Commission, through the Civil Society Action Program to the Turkish Cypriot community. | |||
This program aims to use education as a platform for introducing structural change in society. It applies to Cyprus, a country with a long history of inter-ethnic conflict. In such a context, Education for a Culture of Peace can provide the means by which the transformation of the education system and society can be achieved and the Culture of Peace can be cultivated and maintained. Thus, the main goal of the project is to bring social change and transform the current situation through an approach that utilizes civil society, with the participation of educators, young people, parents and community members, in an educational and transformational process. | |||
The project is considered vital, as the two communities in Cyprus still live separately, while elements of violence and war are maintained, with the main actors of change (education system, faith representatives, media) perpetuating this regime, and therefore , to limit the evolution of society to peaceful. | |||
Education for a Culture of Peace is a three-year project which was initiated in July 2014. It is being co-implemented by POST Research Institute (POST RI) and the Association for Historical Dialogue and Research (AHDR), both Cyprus-based NGOs. | Education for a Culture of Peace is a three-year project which was initiated in July 2014.
