Great to visit EU Delegation UK last night to talk with Dame Angela Eagle DBE, Sir Oliver Heald and Baroness Deborah Bull from the EU-UK Parliamentary Partnership Assembly about the effect leaving Erasmus + has had on UK youth orgs & young people & what we can do to fix the damage.
π₯40 THOUSAND signatures later, the message is clear: young people want more than Turing; they want back in on Erasmus+! π¬π§πͺπΊ British Youth Council is calling on the government to recognise the youth sector value that Erasmus+, unlike the student-centred Turing Scheme, brought. π
