Troodos RYLA 2012

In mid March, the Cyprus RYLA for the year 2011-2012, was held in Troodos Mountain at the Jubilee Hotel.

The RYLA was attended by 25 young people who enjoyed the white snow on Troodos Mountain and they also had the opportunity to learn the objectives and targets of the Rotary International.

The participants were from four countries, Cyprus, Greece, Lebanon and Egypt.

The welcoming speech and an introduction to Rotary International were made by Past Assistant Governor Phaedon Stylianides, representing the Deputy District Governor Themis Themistocleous.

The theme of the RYLA was “Educational Workshop for Leadership”.

The presentations included workshops for “effective verbal and non verbal communication”, “volunteer workshop”, “volunteering today” and “Marketing and Resources”.

The seminars were given by Christos Zachariades, Lina Ellina and Skevi Avgousti.

The night closed with dinner and a close up party with the participants developing their friendship with music and games. Also they were awarded with certificates of attendance.

The RYLA was sponsored by ten Rotary Clubs. The event was organised and supervised by the Cyprus RYLA Officer Rotarian Marios A. Couvas.
