Active Cypriot Programs and European Learning Into Acceptance, ACPELIA was founded in 2019 in Limassol Cyprus. Actually, part of the European Programs of Cultural Association NOSTOS Pissouriou transferred to a newly created organization, the ACPELIA, which will continue with the same OID and PIC number (the Organization is in a rural area of Cyprus with members from all over Cyprus and other Rural areas, our organization is in close cooperation with community councils of these rural areas).
