description Cyprus has been divided since 1974 and the many summit negotiations have not brought any success. This paper shows that in the civil society, are growing initiatives, both Greek Cypriot and Turkish, in favour of a rapprochement between the communities. These are already ancient efforts that have been increasing since the beginning of the 2000’s. The obstacles are numerous, drawn up by both sides nationalists, a one-sided and prejudiced history teaching, the influence of the Greek and Turkish governments, family memories, etc. Yet, even if their effect on politics is thin, each of these initiatives, often supported by international or European institutions, NGOs, foreign universities, trade unionists, journalists, feminists and Cypriot historians, leaves some seeds that help to make slowly evolve mentalities.
