About Us and Our Mission
Our names are Melis Erkmen and Deniz Canbolat, and we are two young enthusiasts in high-school who love to take part in various workshops, conferences and all sorts of bi-communal activities. We decided to create Youth Opportunities Cyprus to overcome the challenges in finding such opportunities, that along with all Cypriots, we faced as well. We realized how disadvantaged we are when we went to the US with an exchange program. To find any extracurricular or educational activities we had to scavenge across the internet; some we found online, some on Instagram, some from people we know and some purely by chance. This website provides a platform for all the most recent events to be displayed collectively in one place, making the search for academic and self-improvement much easier for young Cypriots.
