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.
