The Association for Historical Dialogue and Research (AHDR) is pleased to present its latest initiative, the anti-racism campaign "Look for the Story." This initiative, carried out by a team of experts from both sides of the island, aims to challenge stereotypes, enhance empathy, and promote social cohesion on both sides of the island by highlighting stories that are often dismissed or underrepresented when prejudice prevails.

With the slogan "Whose story haven't you heard yet?" and the hashtag #look4thestory, the campaign seeks to encourage discussions and reflections on the importance of understanding different perspectives and embracing inclusivity.

The campaign "Look for the Story" aims to challenge stereotypes and dispel prejudices through humour and elegance. By presenting narratives in a playful and engaging manner, the campaign seeks to promote empathy, understanding, and acceptance of individuals from diverse backgrounds. Its primary goal is to contribute to the creation of a culture of inclusivity and respect, where diversity is celebrated and valued.

The campaign will address five different forms of racism prevalent in society, concerning issues of religion, LGBTQ+ rights, immigration, sexism, and nationalism.

"The 'Look for the Story' campaign aims not only to raise awareness but also to initiate meaningful dialogue and action," comments Mr. Loizos Loukaidis, Director of AHDR. "We believe that by highlighting stories often overlooked or ignored when prejudices prevail, we can inspire positive change and create an inclusive society. Our goal is to encourage individuals to challenge their assumptions and prejudices and embrace the rich diversity of experiences that make up our society."

This project is implemented by the Association for Historical Dialogue and Research and is funded by the Federal Foreign Office of the Republic of Germany. The views expressed in this campaign do not necessarily reflect those of the sponsors.

AHDR expresses its gratitude to the company Neydi Olacagi (Mehmet Ekin Vaiz, Gülşen Erçin) and the communications specialist Chara Zymara for designing and producing the campaign.
