The Swedish and Finnish embassies in Cyprus, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Sports & Youth, and the Cyprus Children’s and Youth Book Association, organized a student contest that gave elementary school students from all over Cyprus to express themselves creatively, inspired by the world of the Moomins and Pippi Longstocking, highlighting the values of acceptance, diversity, and solidarity.
A total of 37 students from 12 schools across Cyprus received awards, and because IKEA believes that children are the most important people in the world, it donated its products to each winning school to set up a “Reading Corner,” creating a warm, functional, and welcoming space where children can discover the joy of reading, nurture their imagination, and develop a love of books.

IKEA congratulates all the students for their participation and expresses its delight that the reading corners will serve as small hubs of knowledge, inspiration, and creativity within school communities. At the same time, it remains committed to supporting initiatives that promote education, culture, and the values of respect, inclusion, and acceptance of diversity.
