It will discuss the experiences of the organisers, that is, the Center for Gender Equality and History (Cyprus) and the Herstory Education Trust (Ireland) in developing and facilitating women's workshops which brought together women from different communities in Cyprus and Ireland to revisit women's history, gender equality and the processes of building peace.
The conference takes place under the wider project Herstory for Peace: Women's Workshops in Cyprus and Ireland which is co-funded by the European Programme Erasmus+ with match funding from Belfast City Council and the Irish Department of Culture, Heritage and Gaeltacht.
