Renovation work on the much-anticipated Home for Cooperation in the divided island of Cyprus has begun. The Association for Historical Dialogue and Research has spent the last three years raising funds and acquiring all the necessary permits to buy and renovate the dilapidated building sitting in the heart of the buffer zone in Cyprus split capital, Nicosia.
The Home will be the first intercommunal building dealing with history education. The Cyprus Community Media Centre takes a look at the history of the place and the hopes for the future.
A GROUP of historians and educators from across the divide yesterday celebrated the start of renovation work on the first civil society home to straddle the buffer zone. The inter-communal Association for Historical Dialogue and Research (AHDR) has spent three years fund-raising and lobbying to get all the permits, contracts of sale and general support needed to turn the run down house sitting opposite the Ledra Palace hotel in Nicosia into a Home for Cooperation.
More than 100 educators participated in the two-day Council of Europe educational seminar and workshops held at the Ledra Palace Hotel, Fulbright Centre and Goethe Institute on 6 and 7 November, 2009. ‘Multiple views – Multicultural Nicosia: The Use of Interactive Methods in Teaching History’ seminar and workshops were organised by the Council of Europe in cooperation with the inter-communal Association for Historical Dialogue and Research (AHDR) through its “Multiperspectivity and Intercultural Dialogue in Education” project with the support of Teacher Trade Unions across the divide and the United Nations Development Programme Action for Cooperation and Trust. The seminar and workshops offered fascinating insights into the multicultural nature of Nicosia through the centuries, and focused on specific pedagoci aims such as: Using interactive methods to develop pupils’ historical concepts; developing teachers’ competences for teaching history in a multilingual, multicultural context and assessing pupils’ historical knowledge and skills.
