Knowledge Resources
In a space where access to information is limited between the communities, where information about each other is lacking, and where misinformation and disinformation are common, shared knowledge becomes fundamental to dialogue. 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.

South Africa Peace Process
The South African peace process has inspired many. It not only ended decades of apartheid but also reshaped the country's political and social landscape. How did South Africans structure complexity and inclusivity? What were the key elements that made the process work?
Who is involved
The Cyprus Dialogue Forum comprises stakeholder organisations from across the island, representing political parties, trade unions, business and employer associations and NGOs.
What do we really know about each other, the main concerns in our day-to-day lives, our hopes and fears for the future? PENNA aims to lift the veil between the two communities, translating into three languages opinion pieces from commentators writing in leading media outlets across the island. By providing access to the thoughts and ideas of prominent thinkers from both communities, PENNA transcends language and knowledge barriers to enhance our understanding of each other. A good place to start.
