The Cyprus Friendship Programme, (CFP) now in its eighth year, is an all-volunteer peace building bi-communal project for the young people of Cyprus and their families. The aim is to create relationships of friendship and trust between teens from the two communities and replace prejudice with hope. A bi-communal team of Cypriot coordinators selects an equal number of teens from both communities. Each teen chooses another of the same gender from the other community with whom he/she believes they can be great friends. Through each 'pair' the families and friends of the two teens are also brought together creating a multiplier effect in the peace building effort. See all the info about the camp in Troodos and the journey to the U.S., here.
Teenagers eligible to apply must be aged 15 to 18, must not be in the final school year and at least one of their parents must be Cypriot. Application form.

Το δικοινοτικό αυτό πρόγραμμα βρίσκεται τώρα στην έβδομή του χρονιά, είναι καθαρά εθελοντικό και απευθύνεται στους νέους της Κύπρου και τις οικογένειές τους. Στοχεύει να δημιουργήσει φιλίες και σχέσεις εμπιστοσύνης ανάμεσα σε έφηβους από τις δύο κοινότητες και να αντικαταστήσει την προκατάληψη με την ελπίδα. Μια δικοινοτική ομάδα από Κύπριους συντονιστές επιλέγει ένα αριθμό νέων και από τις δύο κοινότητες. Ακολούθως, κάθε νέος και νέα διαλέγει κάποιο άλλο πρόσωπο, του ίδιου φύλου από την άλλη κοινότητα, με το οποίο πιστεύει ότι μπορούν να γίνουν καλοί φίλοι. Οι οικογένειες των δύο εφήβων έρχονται επίσης κοντά, αποκτώντας έτσι πολλαπλά οφέλη στην προσπάθεια για προώθηση της ειρήνης. Βλέπε όλες τις πληροφορίες σχετικά με το στρατόπεδο στο Τρόοδος και το ταξίδι στις ΗΠΑ, εδώ.

Δικαίωμα συμμετοχής έχουν νέοι και νέες 15 μέχρι 18 ετών (που να μην είναι τελειόφοιτοι) των οποίων τουλάχιστον ο ένας γονέας είναι Κύπριος. Αίτηση.
