FESTIVAL PHILOSOPHY
The proposals submitted should be in line with the philosophy of the Festival, which in turn is aligned with the long-term strategy of the Nicosia Municipality for culture and which includes the following objectives:
1. To support and promote young professional creators, to showcase Cyprus' talent of all ages and to keep our cultural heritage alive.
2. To propose a wide range of cultural and artistic expression with the aim of bringing citizens into contact with internationally reputable artists and cultural organisations.
3. To propose cultural activities that promote acceptance and inclusion regardless of nationality, age, gender, colour, religion, sexual orientation, etc.
4. To honour freedom in all its forms: individual and national freedom, freedom of thought and freedom of speech.
