Home for Cooperation, UN Buffer Zone, Nicosia

Organised under the auspices of the Collaborative Media Initiative (CMI) 
Working Group, and with the support of the Cyprus Community Media 
Centre, the main aim of this conference is to strengthen dialogue on 
innovative approaches to media collaboration, and offer interim 
solutions for future actions. It will also provide an opportunity to 
re-evaluate and strengthen conflict resolution and policy contributions 
to interventions in the media environment in Cyprus. The conference will 
also highlight past and present experiences of successful media 
collaboration in Cyprus, shared alongside international best practice in 
the field. In addition, it will instigate an exchange of views and 
opinions within Cyprus on how media collaboration can best serve the 
interests of a future Cyprus.
