As a continuation of the Youth Promoting Peace Initiative, a variety of activities were held to enhance the quality and depth of participants' knowledge, and increase the quantity and diversity of the project's beneficiaries. Activities included: A series of ten workshops -eight mono-communal and two bi-communal- focused on the Cyprus Problem, historic issues, drugs, globalization, the environment, and more. Bi-Communal mass events held in Pyla, Pergamos Park, and Ledras Palace. These events include a music festival, sports activities, a youth conference and a party.
