Common actions in the fields of education and civilization in general are

BICOMMUNAL WORKSHOPS FOR necessary in our effort for solution to the Cyprus problem and reunification of our
island. Aiming at these goals, the G/C and T/C Teachers' Platform “United
CREATIVE WRITING Cyprus” is organizing a series of workshops of 20-30 hours duration early in
the coming autumn. The bi-communal workshops will provide the chance for
new authors to spring, from those who share a vision for a common future in our
island and are dedicated in promoting the ideals of peace and coexistence.

The final products of the workshops, will be novels/stories addressed to younger

or older children, which will be published.

The workshops will take place in 4-5 consecutive weekend sessions at various
places such as the Ledra Palace area, some apartment resorts by the sea, or at the
mountain at both sides of Cyprus and will start most probably in
September/October 2010.

The working languages of the workshops will be Greek and Turkish with Greek
and Turkish well established and widely known experts who will be facilitating
the sessions. Not only teachers, but anyone who is interested, may apply for
participation.

The participation will be free of charge, and the participants names will appear on
the final publications as authors. Copyrights will belong to the organization who
will undertake the publication, as it is normally the case in these circumstances.

We believe that this project is important not only because of the opportunity for
interaction between the participants, but mostly because the material that will be
produced will be supported and promoted by the Platform and its friends to the
highest level, so that to form a channel for bringing forth the ideas of
reconciliation and reunification among the young people of our island.

More details to be announced soon.
