Conflict and Peace in Cyprus: A Series of Public Talks

Co-organised by the University of Reading and Near East University, this interdisciplinary event will bring together scholars from Linguistics, Education, Politics, Architecture, Psychology and Media who will present their recent research on conflict and peace in Cyprus. The event is funded by the British Academy and it is open to academics, students, practitioners, professionals and the general public.

The objectives of this event are:

• To share with wider audiences empirical research on Greek-Cypriot and Turkish-Cypriot intercommunal relations.
• To raise awareness about various social, educational, linguistic, psychological and political issues that are faced by the people who live in the two communities.
• To offer a supportive forum where issues in relation to the conflict in Cyprus can be openly discussed.
• To encourage people from the two communities to come together, get to know each other and interact in positive and constructive ways.
• To come up with creative initiatives that can help build trust and promote peace in Cyprus.

The event will take place on the 3rd of June 2022 at the Home for Cooperation in Nicosia, Cyprus (Markou Drakou 28, Nicosia 1102).
