Closed 47 signatures

What the petition asks

Erasmus+ is the European Union programme for education, training, youth and sport. We want the government to negotiate full membership of the future Erasmus+ programme, which will run from 2021-27, as part of any future relationship with the European Union.

Through Erasmus+ young people can study, volunteer and gain work experience abroad, to develop new skills, gain vital international experience and boost their employability. Currently around 28,000 young people in the UK go abroad through the Erasmus+ programme each year and Erasmus+ students coming to the UK generate £420 million to the UK economy. The programme also allows staff to teach or train abroad and UK organisations to collaborate with international partners.
