🌍✨We warmly welcome our new network members Hold MY Hand CY, Fashion Heritage Network Cyprus, and Ephemera Collective to the Anna Lindh Foundation Cyprus Network!
🤝 MY Hand CY is a refugee-women-led non-profit organisation based in Nicosia, Cyprus, founded in 2024. Led by a small team combining lived experience of displacement with expertise in science communication, community development, strategic planning, and marketing, the organisation works to expand access to skills, knowledge, opportunities, and community for women in displacement. Through programmes, advocacy, public awareness initiatives, and content creation, it amplifies the voices and expertise of displaced women in Cyprus and beyond.
🧵Fashion Heritage Network Cyprus (FHNC) is a bi-communal non-profit organisation dedicated to preserving, celebrating, and reimagining Cyprus' fashion and textile heritage. Bringing together designers, researchers, cultural practitioners, and local communities, FHNC explores fashion as a living expression of cultural identity and collective memory. Through public programmes, community events, digital content, and cross-sector collaborations, it fosters dialogue between heritage and contemporary creativity while promoting sustainable approaches to fashion and the island's rich textile traditions.
🎨Ephemera Collective is a Cyprus-based non-profit collective founded in 2025, working at the intersection of art, community, and ecology. Through long-term collaborative projects, the collective creates spaces for learning, artistic experimentation, and ecological engagement. Currently operating on a voluntary basis, Ephemera Collective is developing a cultural hub in Analyontas while working towards the implementation of its first Erasmus+ and CERV projects to support its long-term vision.
