To bring together Greek and Turkish Cypriot, educators, academics and other players concerned with education in a series of facilitated workshops for the purpose of addressing:
- Challenges facing the respective educational systems in light of the continuing peace process and the prospect of a settlement and/or no settlement, so as to render education in the respective communities catalytic and supportive of mutual understanding, cooperation and peaceful coexistence among the people of Cyprus.
- Needed reforms designed and integrated into the existing educational systems so as to render education in the respective communities catalytic and supportive of mutual understanding, cooperation and peaceful coexistence among the people of Cyprus.
Through a designed and facilitated process the participants will be called upon to address various aspects of education at the elementary and high school (and possibly university level) in search for elements that may enhance reconciliation, cooperation and mutual respect and understanding among the people of Cyprus. Such elements may include curriculum issues, extracurricular activities, teacher and student exchanges, joint research, training, etc. aiming at constructive ways of building bridges across the two educational systems.
