The pre-piloting phase of the HerStory project’s online map was successfully
conducted across various partner countries, providing valuable insights into local
women’s historical contributions.
In Nicosia, pre-piloting tours were organized by SYKESO and CSI Cyprus. Participants engaged in a one-hour excursion that introduced them to six historical sites in the city, learning about notable Cypriot women and their contributions to education, voting rights, employment, and the arts.
The tour was enriched by a discussion with Thekla Kyritsi, the directress of the Centre for Gender Equality and History.
