GPoT Center is partnering with the Munathara Initiative (Munathara) to implement Musabaqat Munathara #DD9, a debate competition dedicated to the youth of Syria. Syrian youth may take part by submitting a video of up to 99 seconds, detailing their vision for Syria and a proposal for a way forward.
The United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) adopted the recommendation of the Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations to grant special consultative status to GPoT Center at its July 2013 session.
There are currently approximately 3,500 international, national and regional non-governmental organizations which enjoy consultative status with ECOSOC and GPoT Center is proud to be one of them.
Sixteen students participating in the study visit organized by the Dutch United Nations Student Association (DUNSA) in Amsterdam visited GPoT Center on August 6, 2013 to discuss the Cyprus and Kurdish questions with GPoT Center staff.
The goal of the group’s interdisciplinary study trip across Cyprus and Turkey was to discover the political, social, and cultural implications of Turkey's application for EU membership.
At the 13th round of the Heybeliada Talks, journalists, opinion and political leaders, civil society representatives, and academics from both sides of Cyprus, Greece, and Turkey discussed the impact of the recent Turkish Cypriot elections on the new round of Cyprus talks under the auspices of the UN, which is expected to start in the fall.
