Press releaseSince its foundation, the Association for Historical Dialogue and Research (AHDR) has enlisted members from various ethnic, linguistic, and professional backgrounds working at various educational levels in Cyprus , making the first steps of a greater effort: an effort to maintain a continuous, productive dialogue about enhanced pedagogic practices that would encourage the values of the discipline of history. Its Board, comprising Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot educators and historians, is a brilliant example of how productive cooperation; creative ideas and respect can blossom across the divide.
The symbolic ceremony on 30 June 2008 signified the commencement of Home for Cooperation – Educational and Research Centre project and the beginning of a historic journey to create a lasting legacy to revitalise the UN buffer zone and set up a prototype for intercultural education and research in Cyprus.
