8th– 14th July 2018

(Arrival Date: 7th July – Departure Date: 15th July 2018)
Oroklini, Larnaca, Cyprus

Cyprus situated at the north-eastern end of the Mediterranean basin, is the third largest island in the region, with an area of 9,251 square kms. Cyprus is an island of legends that basks year-round in the light of the warm Mediterranean sun. A 10,000 year long has seen civilizations come and go and the likes of everyone from Alexander the Great to Cleopatra stake their claim here – but then, people do tend to get possessive when faced with such beauty. Aphrodite made her home on Cyprus, and travelers throughout antiquity came here just to pay her tribute.
In Cyprus a visitor will discover a compact world of alluring beaches and fragrant mountain peaks, vineyards studded with olive trees and ancient ruins that stir the imagination, citrus groves and old stone villages where sweet wine flows as freely as conversations at the local café. A carefree place where a sense of timelessness is magnified by the kindness of the people. The capital of Cyprus is Nicosia. Other major cities are Paphos, Limassol and Larnaca.

OROKLINI, LARNACA
Located 8 km from Larnaka town centre, the large community of Voroklini (also known as Oroklini) enjoys an elevated hill position that overlooks Larnaka Bay. There are various theories of where the village took its name from, with one interpretation deriving from the words ‘oros’ and ‘klinin’, meaning ‘profuse’ in reference to the abundant water running down from the slopes of the mountain from the spring of the area. Thanks to its hilly terrain, the village has many natural beautyspots, and as such is popular for outdoor leisure and activities. Its Yannathes Beach is the region’s only official eco beach.

The main attractions of the village include its old neighbourhoods of pre-1882 buildings, and its churches and chapels, with the quaint stone-built Chapel of Profitis Ilias (Prophet Elias) perched atop a hill. The village also has the region’s second famous wetland – Voroklini Lake – which is a protected Natura 2000 site of Paneuropean significance thanks to the biodiversity of the lake. Two threatened bird species come to nest at the site; the Black-winged Stilt and the Spur-winged Lapwing.It is also the only site in Cyprus where the beautiful Red-crested Pochard nests.

TRAVEL TO OROKLINI, LARNACA, CYPRUS
The only way to travel to Cyprus is via airplane.

Sobre el curso

The “YouthSocialAct: Youth Engagement in Initiatives Supporting Equality for All and Promoting Social Change” represents a project coordinated by the Social Policy and Action Organization and is funded by Erasmus + Programme of the European Union, under the action K1 Mobility of Youth Workers.
The project was built based on the following needs and realities in societies:
a) active voluntarism is crucial and important and should be promoted from children’s early ages and be considered important to their healthy development,
b) children, adolescents and young people have strong sayings, opinions and views on how to promote changes in the society and the majority express the wish and willingness to contribute towards social change strongly,
c) young people have beautiful and innovative ideas on initiatives promoting social change, but unfortunately they are either not given the opportunity to actively participate in the organization of such initiatives, or when provided the opportunity they lack the knowledge or proper empowerment and guidance to practically implement them.
d) in many cases youth NGOs lack the knowledge and expertise to engage youth people actively in the design and practical implementation of such initiatives, even though interest is expressed,
e) the values of equality, acceptance and tolerance, are considered among the most crucial values to be cultivated in youth voluntarism and engagement.
Equality is an important value to be cultivated firstly among young volunteers and their engagement in an organization and secondly as an important social message to send to the society promoting change for a better future.
