Nicosia Erasmus+ Festival celebrates multiculturalism

Celebrating Nicosia’s multiculturalism and the European youth mobility programme is the Nicosia Erasmus+ Festival on October 19. The Municipality of Nicosia, in collaboration with the Foundation for the Management of European Lifelong Learning Programmes (IDEP), invites all organisations involved in Erasmus+ programmes to participate in the festival, as well as the general public to come and see the programme’s actions up close.
