Women's Concerts

In the past months Hands Across the Divide has organised a series of concerts across the island, featuring professional women artists and musicians living in Cyprus. Through these cultural activities we aim to send a message of peace, reconciliation and cooperation among the different communities in Cyprus.
 
 On January 22nd, 2010 a concert was held at the Pallas Theatre in Nicosia, the ‘New Year Women’s Concert’, whose proceeds went to charities in the Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities. The event was supported by the NGO Support Centre, and the Management Centre through the project ‘Engage- Do your part for Peace’.

On the 15th of March, a classical music concert was held in the walled city of Famagusta, in collaboration with Eastern Mediterranean University-Centre for Women’s Studies (EMU-CWS), and the Turkish Cypriot Association of University Women (TCAUW) for the 100th anniversary of the 8th of March, International Women’s Day. This event was also funded by the Small Grant Programme of the ENGAGE project executed by the NGO Support Centre and The Management Centre and sponsored by UNDP-ACT. – ENGAGE.
