Re-join the Erasmus+ programme for UK students

Closed 305 signatures

What the petition asks

We believe re-joining ERASMUS+ would be an investment in our young people, education, research, the economy, societal wellbeing through fostering international engagement while bolstering the Turing scheme.
We believe EU overtures (April and October 2024) and a UK parliament Ten-Minute Rule Bill (15 January) show a will to restore reciprocal youth mobility. We believe this can be achieved through ERASMUS+, which is tried, tested, and designed to serve a wide, diverse multilingual world, ticks the boxes, so why reinvent the wheel? We want to note: re-joining ERASMUS+ does not mean re-joining the EU, restoring free movement or scrapping Turing.
