Film Synopsis:   Six young Cypriots who have never met each other before, three Greek Cypriots and three Turkish Cypriots, are invited to share a house for five days. Together they will travel across divided Cyprus in an attempt to explore their identities as Cypriots. They will argue from different perspectives of history, they will share stories of the past and together they will envision the future. Will they succeed in breaking down prejudices? Will they be liberated from the traumas of the past that have been passed on to them? Will they discover truths they had never before encountered? Is peace a long way ahead?

Rotaract Fellowship Weekend in Agros (12 -13 January 2013)

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Rotaractors gathered from Clubs all over Cyprus to share a beautiful experience during the Fellowship Weekend that took place at Agros on the second weekend of January. Of course Rotaract Club of Nicosia members made a strong presence, as they were catalytic in the organization of this event and were assisted by the generosity of our sponsoring Rotary Club of Nicosia.

On the 12^th of January a group of 30 Rotaractors met at Rodon Hotel in Agros to spend the weekend together, get to know each other better and create bonds between our Rotaract Clubs.

On this ice-cold day the programme started with a rich lunch and some village wine at Kyriacos Tavern to warm us up and break the ice between those of us who had not met before. With the ice broken we then went back to the hotel, where Mr. Peter Harsh made an interesting presentation about Rotaract, the roles of the Board members and gave some answers to the participant’s questions. The day finished with dinner at the hotel and some fun games enjoyed by all the attendees.

Following Sunday morning breakfast, the group visited the Tsolakis House of Roses, where we found out the production procedure of rosewater and other relevant products, such as soaps, liqueurs and candles. The Agros fellowship completed with a last stop at Niki’s sweets, just to sweeten our Sunday melancholic afternoon and the sad end to what was described by all as a successful Fellowship Weekend.

Rotaract Club of Nicosia welcomes 2013 at our annual Vassilopita cutting @ Seven Lounge Bar (15th January 2013)

Rotaract Club Nicosia held  their first club meeting on 15 January 2013 at Seven Lounge bar and had the opportunity to celebrate the coming of 2013 with the Club’s traditional cutting of the Vassilopita along with our honoured guests Mrs Maria Christopoulou (Chairperson of District RYLA 2013) Mr Louis Thoma (our Rotary Liaison) and Mr Anthony Ashiotis (Incoming President of Rotary Nicosia).

During our meeting and amongst other things on the agenda Niovi Georgiade our Club Secretary made a short presentation about the activities and presentation our Rotaractors attended during the Agros Fellowship.  With three new prospective members around we had the opportunity to inform them about Rotaract and give them an insight into who we are and what we do but also get to know them better.

The cutting of the traditional Vassilopita  found our Rotary Liaison Mr Louis Thoma as the lucky person to find the flouri (a small medallion of luck for the year) with other members of our Club as well as a few prospective members  winning  bottles of red wine as presents.

Overall our Club Members and Guests welcomed the new year with joy and spirit(s) .

On behalf of Rotaract Club of Nicosia we hope that you all have a great year with many rewards !

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Rotartact Club of Nicosia organized a team building weekend in Cavo Maris Beach Hotel in Protaras on 12 &13 of October 2012.

The aim of this event was to improve communication between the members and learn about one’s strengths and weaknesses through various activities and ice breakers.

At the first day we did some exercises consisting of a variety of tasks designed to develop group members and their ability to work together effectively. Some of the activities were the blind folding and the Guess who Game.

Most of the games helped us see how other members see us, how the team works together and discover better methods of communication.

On Saturday night we all went out to Spartiatis Taverna to enjoy the fish mezedes and good wine. Taking the opportunity of this fellowship weekend we also celebrated the addition of one more Rotaract member to our Club. At the end of our dinner we all raised our glasses to welcome Mae Mavroudi as the newest member of our Club as a reward for her dedication and efforts throughout the previous months .

Welcome to our Club and the Rotaract family Mae !!

We ended up spending the second day (Sunday) with social activities that encouraged members to spend time together and get to know each other better.

Overall it was a relaxing and the same time learning experience for all of us!

Rotaract Club of Nicosia participates in ‘Lets Do It Cyprus’ Cleaning project

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

The Let’s do it! campaign is the biggest volunteering project in the world that was initiated in 2008. Since then, it has been organized in 91 countries with 22.128 points of garbage dumps mapped on the world trash map. This project is engaging and brings together millions of volunteers from over 100 countries cleaning up their countries.

Cyprus participated this year for the first time in this campaign. On 29^th of September 2012, the ‘Let’s Do It Cyprus’ team took the initiative to the clean up waste from the island’s countryside in a single day with the help of volunteers from all over the island.

Rotaract Club Nicosia Aspelia and Rotaract Club Nicosia joined their forces for this cause. Early Saturday morning all Rotaractors from Nicosia got together and cleaned up waste in a designated area in Aglantzia near the buffer zone.

In this way both Clubs helped to raise awareness, educate and improve attitudes of Cypriot citizens towards waste, recycling and environmental protection. Moreover this project aimed to improve the recycling habits of citizens and support a sustainable society in Cyprus.

The cleaning session was followed by a fellowship lunch where both Rotaract clubs had the opportunity to bond and exchange their experiences on past and future projects.

Let’s do it again next year!

Dear Friends, guests and visitors,

It was with great joy that we held our Handover Dinner on Wednesday, 20th June. The venue of our dinner/handover was at Mediterranean Restaurant (http://www.mediterraneancy.com/), where we all enjoyed a fun night, of  getting together and celebrating our Club’s achievements of the 2011 -2012 period  for the last time before the New Rotary Year began.

We were particularly glad to have with us Mrs Yioula Papakyirakou, our sponsoring Rotary Club’s President for 2012 -2013,  District AG Maria Christopoulou and Rotaract – Rotary Liaison Mr Louis Thoma for yet another one of our events, confirming that the solid Rotary -Rotaract relationship from the years before would continue with even greater zeal this Rotary year.

During our informal Handover Dinner those Rotaractors who would not be continuing as officers this year were thanked for their work and the new Board was introduced and welcomed by all for what promises to be an even more fruitful Rotary year.

Best Rotraract regards and all the very best to us all !!
