EUROGEO and the Home for Cooperation

Located in the buffer zone in Nicosia, Cyprus the Home for Cooperation will function as shared space for intercommunal cooperation and dialogue. The home will open in Spring 2011. When you think of Cyprus we see a border crossing from West to East in the Northern part of the island. A border with a history and a border with geographical consequences. EUROGEO has been asked to be involved in the opening of the House for Cooperation, focussing on the border as a place to meet.
