In Turkey, HasNa is executing its model of
combining conflict resolution and professional skills training through
programs that involve a variety of participants from the southeastern
region. HasNa has trained businessmen, rural women, farmers, farm
extension workers, English language teachers,
chairmen and members of the local water users association, and government
representatives from the region. HasNa's programs in Turkey bring
together individuals from different backgrounds and offer a chance
for them to interact and acquire useful technical and communication
skills at the same time. HasNa is still in contact with 95% of its
former participants and encourages them to network among themselves,
as well as implement follow-up projects from their training.
HasNa has been involved in peace-building programs in Cyprus since 2001, and has developed a unique training approach that includes pre- and post-training support focusing on conflict resolution and communication skills. Since recognizing the impact of media on public opinion in Cyprus, HasNa has worked with local NGOs on programs particularly focused on the media sector. Realizing the misunderstandings and prejudices created by distorted facts and biased news reporting, HasNa aims to promote open dialogue, which facilitates conflict resolution and reconciliation. Past projects have included training workshops for young journalists in unbiased journalism methods, a media symposium in Cyprus, as well as the Reconciliation Now Project and the launch of the Talk of the Island radio program. In addition, HasNa launched the Cyprus Friendship Program in 2009. CFP aims to bring teens from both the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities together to develop friendships while working on their peace, reconciliation and leadership skills. The program’s focus is to break the cycle of fear and mistrust between the two communities on Cyprus by building understanding and promoting peaceful interaction.
