Introducting… Pantelis Kiriakides!
Pan rocked his way through a BSc in Geophysics and snagged an MSc in Environmental Technology, levelling up his eco-warrior skills. His game-changer moment came with a Youth Exchange via YEU, sparking a love affair with Erasmus+ projects that’s nothing short of legendary. Back in Cyprus, he hopped on board the YEU train, fueled by a mission to inject a mega dose of green into the very projects that let him dive deep into diverse cultures and practices. This wasn’t just about globetrotting; it was Pan’s journey to personal growth, all while aiming to leave the planet a bit greener.
