Rejoin Erasmus+

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Leaving the Erasmus+ scheme is a huge mistake, and totally unnecessary. The government should reverse this.
Erasmus+ is a unique and valuable cultural exchange, and there is no reason why Brexit means we should not participate in it. The proposed Turing Scheme is vague in its details and likely to be a pale imitation. For the sake of our future generations, this opportunity should not be denied to students and volunteers.
