Description

Participants at the Celebrating Diversity festival will have the opportunity to see diversity through a different perspective.

The day-long festival, organized by the Cyprus Youth Council with the support of the European Commission’s «For Diversity. Against Discrimination.» campaign will include a number of engaging activities. These activities include cultural workshops that simulate intercultural exchange, viewing diversity-themed films, an innovative senses test, an interactive theatrical performance and interesting exhibits.

People can participate in any activity they choose, however, organizers have provided and extra incentive to make everyone participate in as many activities as possible. Samsung will be awarding two mobiles –a Galaxy Mini and a Star 2- to two lucky winners, after a drawing. Each participation in an activity will equal one participation in the drawing.
