Municipality of Pegeia, Cyprus

As a municipality of the Mediterranean, Pegeia combines a number of characteristics derived from its quite historical background (intangible and tangible heritage), whilst a part of an island that is at the crossover between Europe and Asia.
Over the past few years, Pegeia strives to fulfill the challenge of addressing a diverse set of interests and expectations for its citizens and area stakeholders, including youth residing at the area. For that reason, is dedicated to constantly promote a vast range of activities and initiatives including lifelong education, sports, tourism and social services.

The most noticeable of these can be considered: the Cyprus Technological University (CUT), the Cypriot Youth Organization which acts also as an umbrella organization for smaller initiates working with younger target groups, the Cyprus Ministry of Education and the University of Cyprus.
All the above can act as complementary to the workings within a vast range of envisioned projects and provide valuable insights and assistance for its foreseen activities.
