NDCP AND NCCT ARE BACK!
EXPERIENCE CYPRUS LIKE NEVER BEFORE

NEPOMAK are delighted to announce the return of our two flagship programmes, NDCP and NCCT, after two years of cancellations due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

NCDP and NCCT offer young diaspora Cypriots from across the globe the opportunity to visit Cyprus and learn more about the island’s culture and history. Both programmes are heavily subsidised thanks to the incredible support of the Government of Cyprus and the Youth Board of Cyprus.

Applications are now open for both NDCP and NCCT and will close on Sunday 20th February at midnight. Don’t miss these fantastic opportunities to explore your culture, history and heritage!

Note: If you applied and were accepted for either of the cancelled 2020 trips, your place has been automatically deferred and you should have been contacted by your local NEPOMAK branch with information about how to confirm your place for 2022. If you haven't heard anything or have any questions, please contact us via info@nepomak.org

“A truly unique experience. After only a few weeks in Cyprus, I left with lifelong friends from all corners of the globe! All whilst forging a deeper connection to our Cypriot traditions, culture and language. Wish I could do it all again!”
– Nethie Savva, UK, NDCP 2017

“Every day on NDCP was unique compared to the previous day and I will always hold this trip so close to my heart. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat and strongly suggest any person considering NDCP to go for it!”
– Natalya Yannikarkis, South Africa, NDCP 2018

“When they said NDCP changes your life, they really aren’t lying. In 2014, I had the privilege of being accepted to participate on this trip of a lifetime. Spending 3 weeks exploring this beautiful island with other Cypriots from all over the world, we immersed ourselves in the culture, history, food, and of course the nightlife. You truly make the most amazing lifelong friendships and memories that you will reminisce pretty much every day”

“NCCT offers an incredible opportunity for young Cypriots to build connections with the island, its people and the broader Cypriot diaspora. It provides a structured programme for the rediscovery of what it means to be Cypriot by contextualising language, religion and ethnicity through the history of Cyprus and the experiences of its people.”
– Emmanuel Diinis, Australia, NCCT 2019

“You are in a quaint-style hotel, take in the breath-taking panoramic mountainous view as you are in one of the highest villages in Troodos mountains. From nature hikes through the Akamas peninsula and touring historical byzantine monasteries to wine tasting tours and sailing into the sunset, NCCT is a once in a lifetime culturally immersive travel experience with professional guided tours that are both educational and fun.”
– Andrea Themistokleous, Canada, NCCT 2019

“You will always learn something new through the places you visit, through conversations with the locals and through the friendships you form with other participants on the trip. Take the leap of faith and learn about your roots, your culture and who you are.”
– Nicholas Nicou, UK, NCCT 2017
