ECECT Connects with the Community at the Nicosia Erasmus+ Festival 2026

NEWS

On October 17th, 2026, the European Centre for Emerging Competencies and Technologies (ECECT) participated in the Nicosia Erasmus+ Festival, held at Eleftheria’s Square as part of the Erasmus Days 2026, celebrating the 10th anniversary of this European initiative.
 

Organised by the Nicosia Municipality in collaboration with IDEP Lifelong Learning, the festival brought together educational institutions, non-profit organisations, European project partners and the wider public to celebrate European cooperation, learning and the opportunities offered by the Erasmus+ programme.

Connecting with the Community through Erasmus+

ECECT joined the celebrations with an information booth, providing an opportunity to introduce our organisation, present our involvement in European projects and engage with visitors interested in education, emerging technologies, digital skills and sustainability.

Throughout the event, we connected with students, young people, educators and members of the community, exchanging ideas about European cooperation, lifelong learning and opportunities to get involved in educational and volunteering initiatives.

Our participation reflects ECECT’s commitment to connecting research, education, technology and society, while making European project results and learning opportunities more accessible to local communities.

Celebrating European Collaboration

Erasmus Days is an important occasion to recognise the value of international partnerships, knowledge exchange and inclusive learning experiences. Events such as the Nicosia Erasmus+ Festival provide a space for organisations and citizens to connect, discover new opportunities and explore how European initiatives can contribute to education and skills development.

We sincerely thank Nicosia Municipality and IDEP Lifelong Learning for organising the festival, as well as everyone who visited our booth and shared their interest, ideas and enthusiasm.

We look forward to continuing these conversations and creating more opportunities for learning, innovation and collaboration through European projects.
