Who we are

We are a group of young people with a shared interest in learning our island's past.

We recognize that Cypriot history is a complex and multi-layered field, and feel that the on-going conflict on the island discourages the youth from actively engaging with the past. We want to create an open and welcoming space where individuals can learn, reflect and discuss; where challenging questions about history, society, culture and identity can be raised and examined. 

We are teaming up with scholars and other specialists to create webinars that will enrich our knowledge of the past and will encourage young people to develop their own critical perspective and historical understanding.

Histories* of Cyprus

Today, the field of Cypriot history is facing some real challenges. However, it is also more vibrant and diverse than ever before.

Historians of Cyprus are bringing to light important and fascinating aspects of politics, society, economy and culture that have, in the past, received little attention. Their studies are focusing on issues like gender, sexuality and race, community and national identity, and they have expanded their scope beyond scope to beyond the island's borders to examine the movement of people and ideas and the development of Cypriot communities abroad. They are also using exciting new technologies to learn about the past and are establishing collaborations with specialists beyond the field.

We invite you to join us as we meet these scholars and explore and these histories of Cyprus.
