Seek to rejoin the Erasmus programme

Closed 695 signatures

What the petition asks

Young British children should have the right to freely explore Europe during their time at school. We believe Erasmus was a really good project that offered educational opportunities for young people, and we shouldn’t have left it.
We believe the Turing Scheme the Government has introduced to replace Erasmus is nowhere near as good. Rejoining Erasmus could also help give us a closer relationship with the EU.
