Award for exceptional contribution to island-wide cooperation!
The Association for Historical Dialogue and Research of Cyprus recognises the values of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the European Convention on Human Rights, the covenants of Human Rights issued by the United Nations, and the UNESCO recommendations relevant to history teaching.
Mission: to defend and promote productive dialogue and research in issues regarding history and history teaching to strengthen peace, stability, democracy and critical thinking.
Since its foundation, the Association for Historical Dialogue and Research (AHDR) has enlisted members from various ethnic, linguistic, and professional backgrounds working at various educational levels in Cyprus , making the first steps of a greater effort: an effort to maintain a continuous, productive dialogue about enhanced pedagogic practices that would encourage the values of the discipline of history. Its Board, comprising Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot educators and historians, is a brilliant example of how productive cooperation; creative ideas and respect can blossom across the divide.
