During the event, the Mayors of Limassol, Ayios Athanasios, Mesa Geitonia and Germasogeia will address the public, followed by a presentation of the project “Limassol: A city, the whole world”. The project has been implemented since 2013 and aims at supporting the process of integration of immigrants and third-country nationals in the local community. Its implementation period has been renewed for 18 months - from September 2020 to February 2022 - with a budget of €200,000.

The press conference will be followed by a discussion between experts on anti-rumour strategies based on their experiences in Cyprus and Europe, while a Q&A session will be held at the end of the discussion.
