What can public opinion tell us about a Cyprus settlement?
CPDC is pleased to co-organise a discussion with the University Center for Field Studies and Decision for Peace on new research into settlement preferences, the peace process and confidence-building measures.
Stefanos Evripidou offers a thoughtful account of CPDC’s recent event, “Lessons Learned: An Irish Perspective on Citizens’ Assemblies,” and the wider discussion around the role of citizens’ assemblies in Cyprus.
Our exchange with Art O’Leary continued at CPDC with a focused discussion on how lessons from Ireland’s citizens’ assemblies can be adapted to the Cyprus context.
These reflections are informing CPDC’s ongoing work on citizen participation and deliberative approaches in Cyprus.
CPDC had the pleasure of welcoming Art O’Leary, Chief Executive of the Electoral Commission of Ireland, for “Lessons Learned: An Irish Perspective on Citizens’ Assemblies.”
We thank Art O’Leary and everyone who joined us for an evening of reflection, exchange and dialogue.
As we prepare to welcome Art O’Leary tomorrow, @FionaMullenCY looks at the role citizens’ assemblies can play in creating more inclusive and participatory approaches to the Cyprus peace process.

On the International Day of Peace, we reflect on the power of meaningful dialogue on real issues, both substantive and procedural.
