To facilitate improved communication between Turks and Greeks, a multilayered project called the ‘Greek Turkish Media Programme’ was developed. The first part of the programme was to consult leading media executives from both countries and understand their feelings on how the media currently portrays the other community. Training was carried out for working journalists and journalism students from Greece and Turkey. The sessions focused on Greek-Turkish relations in journalism ethics, conflict resolution, reporting on diversity and adversity. To completely let go of past negative experiences between the two cultures, history books from both countries were studied and the issues of refugees discussed.
