On 25 June 2021, the Council of Europe´s Intercultural Cities Programme launched a new two-year project entitled "Building structures for intercultural integration in Cyprus” implemented together with the European Commission’s Directorate General for Structural Reform Support, and in partnership with the Civil Registry and Migration Department of the Ministry of Interior of the Republic of Cyprus.

The project will support the Republic of Cyprus in implementing its National Action Plan on the Integration of Third-Country Nationals 2020-2022, by empowering local authorities, NGOs, and migrant organisations to be part of the integration process. The project will run from June 2021 to June 2023.

It will use the Intercultural Cities conceptual, analytical and policymaking tools to address the challenges of migrant integration, in particular related to building trust, fostering community cohesion and managing diversity as a resource. The project will build upon significant and positive changes which have resulted from the implementation of the Intercultural Cities programme in Limassol since 2010, such as the creation of an Intercultural Council and the city’s first Intercultural Strategy.

On 20 June 2021, on the occasion of the World Refugee Day, the Intercultural Cities Programme launched a campaign "Our Intercultural City - Our Home" supporting the annual UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) campaign to stand together #WithRefugees. On the campaign page, city staff and the wider residents of the Intercultural cities share what Home means to them.
