Active Cypriot Programs and European Learning Into Acceptance, ACPELIA was founded in 2019 in Limassol Cyprus. Part of the European Programs of Cultural Association NOSTOS Pissouriou transferred to a newly created organization, the ACPELIA, which will continue with the same OID and PIC number (the Organization is in rural areas of Cyprus with members from all over Cyprus and other Rural areas, our organization is in close cooperation with community councils of these rural areas). All the members of the Cultural Association are also members of NGO ACPELIA. The main aim of the Organization is the rescue, preservation and transmission of cultural heritage, sustainability of the environment, discrimination, social and environmental entrepreneurship, social inclusion, elimination of discrimination and racism and the granting our members the chance to be involved in themes about Environment, Culture, Sports, Racism, Equality, Democracy and Discrimination. Cultural and Sports activities promote social inclusion, and human rights and help in the limitation of discrimination among the generations. To promote the above-mentioned important values, the association is organizing cultural, informative, educational and interactive activities for youth with the new European Programs department of the association. Those activities include dancing, theatre, educational activities with games and action, and other performances where young people can learn about humanity issues through Non-Formal Education.
Our organisation is a volunteering organisation so we don't have any paid staff but we work all volunteering, when we have approved projects in themes that we work on them then independent contracts are done with the suitable youth workers, trainers and project managers so to be able to make all the activities from these contracts. We have more than 50 youth workers, learners and members of the group who are willing to work with our organisation and who are ready to be employed according to the needs of each plan. In the organisation, we are working on a lot of themes according to the needs of the area and generally youth workers that are working for our organisation.
