Workshop about EuropeAid
The NGO Support Centre delivered a workshop on the 21st of March to disseminate information relating to EuropeAid and CyprusAid. The workshop was funded by CyprusAID and its purpose was to share information with NGO’s working in the areas of development in Cyprus about the opportunities for applying for grant funds related to development projects. The training was conducted by Lorraine Marriott at the NGO Support Centre. Trainings such as these are important because European Union Governments provide over half of the world’s aid and rely and mandate member states to contribute as part of their membership in the European Union. When Cypriot NGOs have the capacity to execute projects working with or in developing countries, they can help the Republic of Cyprus be sustainable contribution to their obligation of providing 0.17% of their GNI by 2010, as well as contributing the sustainability of NGOs working on development issues.
 

Workshop: Compass and Compassito
The NGO Support Centre, the Commissioner for Children Rights and the Cyprus Network of Health Promoting Schools organized a two day workshop for teachers for Human Rights Education. The workshop specifically presented the Council of Europe toolkits, Compass and Compassito. More than 80 teachers had the opportunities to participate in activities aiming at educating children and young people about Human Rights. They then had the chance to develop an action plan on implementing such activities in their own classroom and school.
 

Project for intercultural values
The NGO Support Centre has just launched a project in Cyprus to understand citizens’ perceptions about inter-cultural values within the European Union and to promote and debate the common ideas that European citizens share to increase integration across borders. The NGO-SC is taking part in the project with a number of other organisations from Spain, Malta, the UK and France and the project will culminate in a discussion and presentation of findings to EU delegates in Brussels.
