YEU Cyprus advocates on the rights of young people with regards to having a voice in the Cypriot society and beyond; specifically on matters of human rights, sustainable development, intercultural education and youth participation. This is achieved by coordinating and collaborating in various international and local activities and events through mobilities and other local and European projects. On an international level, YEU Cyprus organizes and delivers training courses, youth exchanges, youth dialogue projects, and ESC projects on different topics, focusing always on youth development, awareness raising and capacity building. On a local level, the organization implements workshops, seminars, activities and offers internships to further promote youth empowerment and support young people in their progress. To do so we provide opportunities for all young people that reside in Cyprus to participate and engage in matters related to social, economical, cultural development of themselves and their communities. Through non-formal education and experiential learning we implement creative activities to engage young people in finding a more healthy lifestyle, employment and respond to the issues that youth is facing in our societies and in Europe at large. The organization has great experience in NFE, since it is one of the first youth organizations implementing non-formal methods in Cyprus, advocates for NFE on a national level and supports lifelong learning through its actions. 

Comprehensive Sexuality Education is one of our main priorities. Our position is that evidence-based, Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE), free of prejudice, dogma or ideologies, is necessary to equip young people with the tools - knowledge and skills- needed to make informed and free choices regarding their sexual life. Thus, we plan, implement and evaluate information and education programs for youth by youth and experts in the field, educate parents, teacher and other professionals, and publish accurate information and educational materials on issues of sexuality. We also carry out research programs to record and document the needs in Cyprus and conduct programs to promote and defend Sexual Reproductive Rights. We have published two Sexuality Education Manuals for Teachers for Primary and Secondary Education which have been adopted by the Ministry of Education and Culture. CFPA also runs a Help Line which provides support and information to all. CFPA is a youth-oriented organisation and its programs and services are tailored to address the needs of young people with a focus on increasing young people’s awareness on SRHR issues and empowering them to make informed decisions related to their physical, mental and social well being. Adding to this, increasing active youth participation at all levels of decision-making, one of the priorities set under the Association’s Strategic Planning. The “Youth for Youth” Group which was established in 1996 by a group of active young people, is one of the governing bodies of CFPA with members 16-30 years of age. The “Youth for Youth” group's actions are guided by an 'Internal Regulations' document and five youth representatives are elected in a Coordinating Committee. The “Youth for Youth” Group members are actively involved in the decision-making processes of the organisation. Overall, young people in this group are trained to be peer educators on CSE and support the counseling services of the Association. We have experience in European and local projects in the fields of education, including peer learning and non-formal learning, advocacy, research working with youth, women and minorities, especially concerning on topics gender equality and sexual and reproductive rights. We can offer expertise and partnership in various European and other funded projects, including but not limited to REC, Europe for Citizens, Justice, Erasmus+ projects.

Migrants, minorities and second generation young people represent one of our main targets of intervention.
Within the Third Countries Integration European Fund, we’ve been working in several national projects involving immigrants, aimed at their social integration, linguistic inclusion, and professional integration throughout various activities such as: action-research, field research, thematic surveys, participative methods of involvement, consultancy groups, focus groups, peer research, field interviews and video documentation.
The specific activity carried out in favour of migrants in Italy consists of four types of interventions:
1. Community mediation and development activities for improving social cohesion processes, integration and civic participation and for the promotion of individual identity and empowerment. This type of intervention was carried out in collaboration with Local Territorial Entities, subjects of the third sector active in the offer of social and socio-educational services.
2. Consultancy and accompanying activities for system actions aimed at migrants, aimed at developing new services, modelling services, improving access for migrants to existing services in the social welfare, socio-health, educational and bureaucratic-administrative fields. This type of intervention was carried out in collaboration with Local Authorities, Healthcare Organizations, third sector subjects active in the provision of social and socio-educational services.
3. Activities of public art and storytelling as a tool for socio-cultural integration: Codici is experienced in the analysis of social processes and develops engagement and intervention strategies with the target of young Italians and foreigners using the tools and communication channels of the arts visual (video reportage with participatory approach), of the media (website, webdocumentary, app for smart phones) and of social networks (Facebook, blog), with the aim of gathering and telling in a participatory and as widely as possible way the stories of life and reference social contexts. Several projects of Codici involved strategies and tools of public art and visual arts, social media and collective storytelling aimed at the integration of third-country nationals and social cohesion, through the European funds for the integration of third-country nationals (FEI 2007-2013, FAMI 2014-2020).
4. Monitoring and evaluation of projects through the use of own methodologies for evaluative research and participatory methodologies. Various interventions have been made in projects aimed at foreign users, both within the framework of the European Fund for the integration of Third Country Nationals, and on the commission of foundations such as Cariplo and Compagnia di San Paolo, concerning the themes of integration policies, community welfare, social inclusion.

eka3, through its initiatives, has operated in Egypt, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, UAE, Tunisia and Morocco with artist in different stages of development.
Almoharek supported their roster of artists to tour the Arab Region and Europe, Mostakell created and sold records online and in physical stores, Simsara has been managing artists and launching PR campaigns to promote their work, Ma3azef is resetting the standards of critique for Arabic music and finally Awyav is publishing the music, creating a new source of income and managing copyrights. Artists working with these initiatives have more time dedicated to the creative process of their work rather than handling the administration of their artistic project, and getting tangled in the political interests of
commercial production.
This combination of activities and services offered has made eka3 influential in independent Arabic music, it network has grown rapidly so has its clients (both artists and
organizations). They have made use of the diversified audiences in the region and Arab diaspora. Also, the initiatives above, benefited from their incubation within eka3 and have become profitable for the entrepreneurs managing it. The success and sustainability of these initiatives subsequently leads to growth in creative economy regionally. Meanwhile, promotional and content creation activities have led to artistic exchange and international collaborations.
The collective efforts of eka3 will continually develop the processes applied in the development of independent music empowering it to become more competitive and commercially
viable.
