📍 About the location
Athinon Nicosia, also known as Lefkosia, is the capital of Cyprus and one of the oldest cities in the world. Its history dates back to antiquity, with traces of civilizations dating back thousands of years. Located in the center of the island, Nicosia is a vibrant city that blends past and modernity. Geographically, it is surrounded by Venetian walls, showcasing its rich architectural and cultural heritage.
The nonprofit sector in Nicosia is diverse, covering a wide range of areas such as education, health, culture, environment, and social assistance. Numerous non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and charitable associations work to address the needs of the local community. They organize educational programs, awareness campaigns, environmental preservation initiatives, as well as support services for disadvantaged individuals.
As a cultural and economic hub, Nicosia is home to a lively nonprofit scene, with cultural events, festivals, art exhibitions, and sports events animating the city throughout the year. These initiatives contribute to strengthening the social fabric of the community and promoting the well-being of its residents.
🎒 Leisure activities
In Athinon Nicosia, there are plenty of activities to suit all tastes. You can start by exploring the historic city center, where you can admire iconic sites such as the fortified old town, the Archaeological Museum, and Saint John's Cathedral. For art and culture enthusiasts, visiting local art galleries and attending theater performances or concerts is a great option. If you prefer to enjoy nature, you can take a stroll in the city's green parks or go hiking in the surrounding mountains. Shopping enthusiasts will also be delighted with the quaint shops and local markets offering handmade products and unique souvenirs. Finally, don't miss out on tasting delicious Cypriot cuisine in the city's many restaurants and taverns.

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
