YEU Cyprus Celebrating 20 years of Youthwork!

YEU Cyprus is a non-profit, independent youth NGO based in Nicosia, that works closely with young people aiming to empower them in realizing the societies they want to be living in. We implement a number of projects and carry out a variety of activities on non-formal education both locally and transnationally, with a focus on active citizenship, human rights, sustainability, inclusion, cultural ex

change and understanding. At YEU Cyprus, we firmly believe the concept of closer cooperation and better understanding among the global youth community

Our organization is dedicated to advocating for the rights of young individuals, nurturing their potential to emerge as influential contributors to society. We are committed to fostering a culture of engagement and empowerment, both within our immediate community and extending far beyond the borders of Cyprus. Through dynamic initiatives, activities and projects, we aspire to create a world where young people are equipped, inspired, and connected to shape positive change, not only locally but on a global scale.

Something new from YEU ✨

As part of the Art Work(s) Project, our team came together to explore how creativity can contribute to change, and how the process of making art is itself part of that change - this time through a podcast conversation 🎧

Before recording, we opened the discussion to you through stories, where you had the chance to vote on the questions and share your input. Your thoughts and questions helped shape the episode and guided the conversation with the artists.

It’s a topic with many grey areas, but one thing remains clear: in art we trust

Thank you to everyone who contributed and became part of this dialogue.

🎗️ May 17 – International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia

Today is a reminder that no one should face discrimination, exclusion, or violence because of who they are or who they love.

At YEU Cyprus, we believe that education is not only about knowledge—it is also about building empathy, awareness, and respect through experience.

Through immersive and cooperative environments, we invite people to share experiences that can open space for reflection on how we relate to difference and how inclusion is practiced in everyday interactions.

Through non-formal education, such as escape room-based learning, we can encourage values like:

🌈 respect for diversity
🤝 cooperation and inclusion
💬 open and respectful communication
🧠 critical thinking about social dynamics
❤️ empathy through shared experience

On this day, we stand in solidarity with LGBTQIA+ communities everywhere.

And we reaffirm a simple idea:
inclusive spaces are built, not assumed.

Stay tuned for more info on the escape rooms created to question concepts of discrimination, marginalisation, violence, empathy, inclusion and peace!
