Following the ban of cross visits and the disruption of the peace movement, two of [[Future Worlds Center]]'s projects played a significant role in breaking the impasse, [[Technology for Peace]] by using technology to facilitate communication and coordination, and [[Youth Promoting Peace]]. A [[Y2P: Tree Planting 2000|tree Planting event]], which took place in February 2000, was probably one of the first events ever organized in Pyla and therefore opened the door for more other events to follow. The group, which was facilitated by [[Yiannis Laouris]], subsequently organized 23 mass events engaging thousands of young and adult people, enjoying significant visibility in the news. | |||
