Taking place under the coordination of Eastern Mediterranean University Foreign Languages and English Preparatory School “Civic Involvement Projects” organiser, academic staff member Mehşen Ercanlar and with the support of academic staff members Bahar Avşar and Almira Dykhanova, a project titled ‘Give A Book Give A Life’ was carried out by students of the FL & EPS.

As part of the project, participating instructors and students first visited Deniz Plaza Nicosia branch, where they were warmly welcomed by staff and directors of the said place. During their visit, students explained the aim of the project and asked for the support of Deniz Plaza. The visiting group then left the said venue and paid two more visits to Işık Bookshop and Rüstem Bookshop. As a result of their visit to the said venues, students received book donations as support for their project. Upon finishing the visits, students visited Great Inn and spent the rest of the day in a nice, historical atmosphere.
