Educational Workshop by HOMBAT at UNIC

Combating homophobic and transphobic bullying at schools in Cyprus was thoroughly discussed during an educational workshop taken place at the University of Nicosia last week.

The workshop was co-organised by the University of Nicosia, the Cyprus Youth Board and the Cyprus Pedagogical Institute, with support by the Cyprus Family Planning Association and it falls within the framework of HOMBAT, a European programme aiming to contribute to the prevention & combating of homophobia & transphobia (HT) in Greece, Cyprus and Lithuania.

Welcoming the event on behalf of HOMBAT, UNIC’s Vice Rector for Faculty and Research, Professor Constantinos Phellas stressed the importance of diversity as a defining factor in social relations and underlined the responsibility of educators in teaching tolerance and acceptance to children.
