SUMMARY:Creative Pathways: A Conversation with Alexander Tofalides
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a compelling evening with Alexander Tofalides\, the first-ever fencer to represent Cyprus at the Olympic Games\, as part of our Creative Pathways series celebrating Cypriots excelling across disciplines in the UK. \nIn this live Q&A\, Alexander will reflect on his extraordinary 20-year journey to the Olympic stage — from his beginnings in London’s fencing circles\, through years of setbacks and reinvention\, to achieving his dream of competing at the Paris 2024 Olympics. The discussion will explore his approach to resilience\, mental performance under pressure\, and the power of identity\, preparation\, and inner narrative in overcoming adversity. \nDrawing on insights from his career as both an athlete and a public speaker\, Alexander will speak candidly about the personal and professional choices that shaped his path — including the decision to represent Cyprus\, the psychological tools that helped him through loss and failure\, and his ongoing preparations for Los Angeles 2028. \nAlexander Tofalides regularly delivers talks and workshops across the UK and internationally in English\, Greek\, Arabic\, Spanish\, and French. His story is one of perseverance\, discipline\, and determination — and this conversation offers a unique window into the mindset of someone who has learned to perform when it truly matters. \nThis event is organised by the Cultural Section of the Cyprus High Commission in the UK in collaboration with NEPOMAK UK. \nA drinks reception will follow the discussion. \n  \nReserve your spot: click here

SUMMARY:Walking through the Kingdom of Salamis – A Presentation by Anna Marangou
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an unforgettable evening of history\, memory\, and storytelling. \n  \nCelebrated archaeologist and art historian Anna Marangou presents her latest work\, the evocative trilogy Walking through the Kingdom of Salamis\, brought to life through the photographic projections of Petros Fiakkas. The event will feature reflections from Dr. Yiannis Toumazis\, Director of the Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation and former Deputy Minister of Culture. \nSpanning thirty-seven centuries of Cypriot history — from prehistoric Enkomi and glorious Salamis to Hellenistic Arsinoe\, Byzantine Constantia\, and the vibrant 20th-century city of Varosha — this deeply personal work is a tribute to a land steeped in memory. More than a historical account\, the trilogy is an emotional journey\, a folk historiography and an elegy for Famagusta. It is a blue box of stories\, images\, and remembrance — a call to preserve the soul of a place that refuses to be forgotten. \nAs Anna Komnena wrote in 1148: “The word of History becomes a mighty barrier against the currents of time.” \nWe look forward to welcoming you to this inspiring evening of words\, images\, and shared memory. \nReserve your spot: click here.
