Shared knowledge creation within the Cyprus Dialogue Forum makes information equally available and accessible to all. It is jointly created with and for stakeholder organisations. It addresses key questions in the dialogue and fills the gaps in knowledge between the communities. Shared knowledge shifts ‘I know’ to ‘we know’, allowing for more informed dialogues grounded in facts and shared understandings.

A good place to start.
