Last Saturday, the bicommunal Peace Works Children & Youth Festival held in the buffer zone showcased the great solidarity between civil society organisations as well as groups engaged in peacebuilding and peace education in Cyprus.

More than 200 children participated in a bi-communal ‘Education for a Culture of Peace’ event on 7 May at the Ledra Palace Hotel organised by the Post Research Institute and the Association for Historical Dialogue and Research and funded by the European Union.

On 26 April 2016, UNFICYP made its regular delivery of humanitarian supplies from the Republic of Cyprus to the Maronite communities of Kormakitis and neighbouring villages.
