All the events are “virtual” (on this Website, inside Youtube, or live on ZOOM) and open to the public.
Each of the events is accessible by clicking on the links below, the sidebar at the top right, or the master menu of this page.
These events constitute a "first" for the Diaspora. The participation of Cypriots in the Revolution of 1821 is not particularly known outside of Cyprus and Greece. We are honored to present this "lesser known" aspect of the Greek Struggle for Independence in commemorating the heroes and martyrs of Cyprus.
