Louis Silva took part in the Erasmus programme and had the opportunity to gain experience by launching his own Start Up.
 
Originally from Venezuela, he explains that the civil strife and uncertainty there are such as to deter him from leaving the safety of Cyprus and his rights as an EU citizen.
 
He also talks about the many opportunities that the European Union offers to young people through a number of programmes, including networking opportunities  that allow not only the building up of business contacts and cooperation but of close friendships.
