Human Rights Sculpture Park to open in Kolossi
The Human Rights Sculpture Park, located in the courtyard of the Apostolos Loukas High School in Kolossi, is set to open early next month. The park features sculptures promoting a human rights-based approach, conceived by visual artist and art teacher Popi Nikolaou and her students. The project, titled “Children Want Peace,” is nearing completion, with the opening ceremony scheduled for April 12, hosted by President Nikos Christodoulides. Nikolaou, recognized among the world’s best teachers, aims for the park to encourage students and future citizens to actively address human rights violations, including human trafficking, child sexual abuse, and women’s rights. The creation of the sculptures involved thorough research and study to effectively convey messages on human rights.
