The “Colorful Societies” project has been designed by local authorities to enhance the interactive process of integrating immigrants into the Cypriot society. It is based on European practice for the most effective integration in a multicultural environment. The project is a continuation of the same project that had been implemented for the Annual Programme 2011.

The main objective of the project is the involvement and active participation of the municipalities of Nicosia district towards the exploitation and use of socio-cultural services already offered, to their citizens, by third country nationals (TCNs). This would create social integration opportunities for the TCNs to the local context and interaction with local communities.
