European Program “People-to-People Contact Activities- Living Together”

It gives us great pleasure to announce,  that the GREEK DANCE ARCHIVES and the FOUNDATION HASDER OF CYPRUS (both IOV members), have been working closely together since March 2008 within the framework of the European Program “People to People Contact Activities - Living Together” which aims at the expansion of communication and the exchange of knowledge and experience on issues of folk culture, which would contribute to understanding of differences and would promote cooperation and friendship between young members of both Sectors.

This attempt for cooperation began about a year ago, in April 2008, and members of the two collaborating Sectors met  at the IOV world conference in Bountiful, USA - August 2008.

There, in Utah, heartfelt friendships developed and everyone is looking forward with great pleasure to meeting and cooperating again for the already approved European Program, in Greece and Cyprus in 2009.

Members and colleagues of GREEK DANCE ARCHIVES and the Association HASDER OF CYPRUS, are attending to the planning of the programmed activities, which will last for 12 months, so that the European Program will achieve its goals and the 80 participating young people, musicians, dancers, teachers and dance instructors, will create the best impression and fulfill all the objectives of the program.

The planned activities will take place in Greece and Cyprus and at the same time, colleagues and members of IOV from other countries will be taking part as observers.

Mutual understanding and friendships between different cultures can contribute to the peaceful coexistence of peoples and cultures proving that common interests, love for folk culture, communication, relationships and friendly co-operations, can indeed overcome established historic impediments.

Delegations and IOV members in the framework of this E.U. Program will be received by the local Authorities and by Senator-honorary member of IOV, Mr. Ioannis Gkalvakis.

We would like to express our appreciation to the Board of Directors of the Association HASDER and to the President, Mr. Ali Nebih, for their friendship and good relations with the Youth of GREEK DANCE ARCHIVES.
