Applications are now open for two international programmes offering young Cypriot Australians the opportunity to travel to Cyprus, connect with their heritage and build global networks through NEPOMAK.
The 2026 programmes include the NEPOMAK Discover Cyprus Programme (NDCP) and the NEPOMAK Cyprus Culture Tour (NCCT), both of which are heavily subsidised with the support of the Cypriot Government.
The NDCP is a three-week experience running from 6–27 July 2026, open to participants aged 18–22. The programme brings together young Cypriots from across the global diaspora for a mix of cultural education, language exposure and travel throughout Cyprus.
The NCCT, designed for participants aged 23–30, is a 10-day guided cultural tour running from 23 July to 3 August 2026, combining historical exploration with hands-on experiences across the island.
“A once-in-a-lifetime experience”
NDCP alumnus Dimitri Zissopoulos, who attended the programme in 2025, said the experience strengthened his connection to his heritage.
“I found a stronger cultural identity and connected in a new and deeper way with my Cypriot roots,” he said.
Similarly, Zoe Prandalos from Wollongong, who participated in the NCCT, said the tour deepened her understanding of Cypriot history and culture.
Both programmes are open to applicants who have at least one Cypriot grandparent and are registered members of NEPOMAK.
Applications for both the NDCP and NCCT close on 8 February 2026.
Further information and application details are available via the NEPOMAK website.
