A happy and peaceful future in Cyprus will only be possible with new generations that have grown up with a culture of peace and tolerance, former T/C leader Mustafa Akinci said in a post about the withdrawal of the T/C side from the bicommunal educational programme Imagine.
As reported from the occupied territories, in a post yesterday, Akinci noted that the bicommunal Technical Committee on Education was one of the three created during his tenure, and the Imagine program and the work on the culture of peace and tolerance involved 4 participants from both sides.696 students, 751 teachers and 91 school heads.
Mustafa Akinci called the decision of the T/C side to stop participating in it absurd. "We must not forget that the two communities that have lived on this island for centuries will still exist and it is imperative to create and maintain a culture of peace between future generations, regardless of the circumstances."
The happy and peaceful future of this island, he concluded, will only be possible with new generations who have grown up with a culture of peace and tolerance.
