The conference will deal with issues such as the critical view of education in Cyprus, but also with the study of the common traditions of Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots, as well as the investigation of cultural channels of communication aimed at combating prejudice and consolidating peace education in Cyprus. .

The targeting, among other things, for the development of coexistence and cooperation skills set by the Ministry of Education and Culture, should be extended to the inter-community level, so that a culture of peace and cooperation is established and Cyprus is an example of peaceful, multicultural coexistence and therefore a factor of stability in the region. Education has a primary role to play in this task.
