The coordinators and members of the regional intercultural networks in Cyprus participated in an antirumours training course in Limassol on 22 March 2022.

The participants included representatives from the volunteer and migrant community, police and the education field. During the day’s training they looked at the key concepts of the antirumours approach (stereotypes, prejudices, rumours), they diagnosed common rumours in Cypriot society and looked at counter and alternative narratives.

The participants designed antirumours actions for their districts (Famagusta, Larnaca, Limassol, Paphos and Nicosia), these actions will be further developed and incorporated into the intercultural strategies which are currently being prepared by the networks.
