English Speaking Club
An English-speaking circle within BPW Cyprus — connecting women from every background across the island.
The BPW Cyprus English-Speaking Club (BPW E.S.C.) serves women living and working in Cyprus who seek connection, growth, and active participation in an international, English-speaking community. E.S.C. acts as an integration bridge for non-Greek-speaking women, offering meaningful engagement, visibility, and collaboration within BPW. Through the Continuum Series such as Sip & Share, Unfold, Spotlight Stage, Wildly Capable, and The E.S.C. Table, we foster dialogue, shared learning, and values-driven leadership that supports women’s professional development, empowerment, and equal opportunities in Cyprus.
