An alternative event entitled "Stories that Inspire" was organised on Wednesday by the Cyprus Youth Organisation and the Paphos District Office for Secondary Education of the Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth, at the Attikon Cultural Centre in Paphos.

The aim of the event as stated by the organizers was to inspire the student youth of the high schools of the city and district of Paphos as well as each and every one of us, through six stories from renowned personalities. The event was moderated by Louis Patsalidis the presenter, while the panel included Aris Antoniadis the composer, arranger and conductor.

Speakers were Antonis Kafouros Senior Labour Officer and Head of European Networks and Projects Programmes, Department of Labour, Rafaela Miltiados Road Safety Ambassador 2021, Maria Odysseos Deputy Marketing Manager KEAN Soft Drunks Lts, Panagiota Polycarpou Social Entrepreneur and Gender Specialist and Michael Tyrimos Founder CEO Capacitor Partners.

In his address, George Koutsidis, Senior Secondary Education Officer of Pafos said that knowledge in our time is a given, but inspiration tends to disappear. He added that inspiration is the prerequisite to achieve our goals and create a meaningful life that we enjoy living.

We are here, he added, to emphasize human experiences to express emotions, to understand the processes that awaken them in order to reach inspiration.

"Through the human journeys and life experiences of the five speakers, which were marked by hardship and pain, success and failure, joys and sorrows, we seek to give you right examples of life that will enable you to chart your own path," he said.

In his greeting, Louis Kyprianos, Director of Secondary Education told the students that they will always continue to be by their side so that they can realize their life dreams and goals, noting that life experiences are extremely useful, because they determine the stages of the struggle and the effort that each child makes, regardless of the family environment or the place where their parents work.

He also added that it is very important to overcome discrimination, to chart our course with full stability in our vision and goals in order to achieve the best for ourselves and for our society.
