On Sunday 20 September 2026, Nicosia becomes a gathering point for anyone who believes that peace is built through encounter rather than declaration. From 16:00 to 23:00, Home for Cooperation and the Association for Historical Dialogue and Research (AHDR) host their annual celebration of the International Day of Peace — a full evening that trades ceremony for genuine human connection.
The programme is deliberately varied: a guided walk through the city sets the tone early, followed by open discussions and workshops that invite participants to engage with ideas rather than simply observe them. Live music threads through the evening, and shared food brings the kind of informal warmth that no panel discussion can manufacture on its own.
Home for Cooperation is not a neutral backdrop. Situated in the buffer zone of Nicosia, it carries the weight of the island's divided history and, at the same time, embodies the possibility of something different. That context gives every conversation held here an extra layer of meaning.
The event is open to all — locals, expats, and visitors alike. Whether you come for the music, the workshops, or simply the atmosphere of a city pausing to reflect, the evening promises to be one of the more thoughtful entries in Nicosia's autumn calendar.
