Last Sunday The Home for Cooperation in Nicosia arranged a theme day about India.
The Home for Cooperation is a community centre in the heart of Nicosia, by Ledra Palace in the UN buffer zone. The centre is a meeting point for Greek and Turkish Cypriots and a connecting bridge between the two societies. Individuals and non-governmental people are encouraged to meet and get to know each other here. The centre offers a big variety of culture, art and educational programs that promotes creativity and brings people closer to each other.
