Common ground kafenio project launched by larnaka 2030

The Larnaka 2030 cultural initiative has introduced a new project titled Common Ground Kafenio. Led by writer and artist Costas Mannouris, the project aims to foster social dialogue and community engagement. It utilizes the traditional cultural practice of coffee reading as a starting point for interpersonal communication. Unlike traditional divination, the project focuses on shared future aspirations and collective experiences rather than individual predictions. Participants are invited to use the coffee cup as a metaphorical canvas to exchange narratives and values. This flagship project seeks to encourage open discussions about the hopes and expectations of the local community. It officially reinterprets ancient rituals as a contemporary tool for building common ground among citizens.
