The Cyprus Final Dissemination Event, organized by CSI – Center for Social Innovation with the help of CIP – Citizens In Power, took place in Nicosia, Cyprus, on June 12, 2024. This event was a great opportunity for the participants to connect, and learn more about our project.

The preparation for the Multiplier Event involved several key steps to ensure its success. The planning team started by defining the event’s objectives and identifying the target audience. Following this, a detailed agenda was drafted, highlighting key activities and discussion points. Invitations were sent to potential participants, and marketing efforts were undertaken through various channels, including social media, email newsletters, and partnerships with relevant organizations. Logistics were carefully managed, with arrangements made for catering, and audio-visual equipment. The team also coordinated with speakers and facilitators to ensure they were fully prepared.

The event took place at CIP Impact Hub, a modern conference center located in the heart of Nicosia’s old city. The venue was chosen for its accessibility and state-of-the-art facilities, including high-speed internet, projectors, and comfortable seating. The location also provided ample parking space and was easily accessible by public transportation.

The primary objectives of the event were to disseminate the outcomes and findings of Code4SP, to engage participants in discussions on the project’s impact and future applications, to foster networking among stakeholders, and to encourage collaboration for future initiatives. Lastly, to gather feedback from participants to refine and enhance future projects.
