Sophia is the founder of Winds of Change, a peacebuilding sport initiative in Cyprus with the support of the International Olympic Committee’s Young Leaders Programme. It aims to use sport as a peace catalyst, to bring two communities together that have been divided by conflict and war. The organisation aims to bring together Greek and Turkish Cypriots and has given rise to a bi-communal sailing team. 

On September 21, the International Day of Peace, Winds of Change created history by becoming the first team to sail around Cyprus in half a century. The team took part in a uniquely designed programme throughout the summer months in the lead up to the circumnavigation. The programme consists of four phases: 1) team development 2) sailing skills 3) the challenge of circumnavigating Cyprus itself and 4) outreach. Currently, during the outreach phase, the project ams to reach and inspire a wider audience with the story and journey of this team. A documentary film is being produced to showcase the entire journey, highlighting the power of sport as a catalyst for peace in Cyprus and globally. Winds for Change has reached over 1,100 people directly through presentations and international and national events.
