Turing is not enough: Bring back Erasmus+
Tue 12 Dec 2023 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM GMT
Online
Description
The Young European Movement, in partnership with European Movement UK and the British Youth Council, is calling on the UK Government to restore Britain’s membership of the Erasmus+ Programme, which was ended abruptly in 2020.
Since leaving the programme, the number of European students studying in the UK has collapsed, funding for the youth sector has fallen and Britain’s cultural connection to its neighbours is waning.
Join us next week for an exclusive webinar to hear more about the campaign strategy, what’s happening next and how you can get more involved.
We'll hear from:
- Klajdi Selimi (Chair), President of Young European Movement UK.
- Lord Storey, Lib Dem’s Education Spokesperson in the House of Lords.
- Ray Kirtley, Chair of UK Global Learning Association for Schools.
- Dr. Steve Barnes, a chartered psychologist with the British Psychological Society with 12 years of lecturing experience across further and higher education in the UK, and Co-Editor of the journal “Mental Health and Digital Technologies”.
- Véronique Martin, co-author of "In Limbo: Brexit testimonies from EU citizens in the UK", and was a student on on the first ever year of Erasmus.
- Amelia Hughes, Comms and Campaigns Officer at EM UK, who enrolled on various Erasmus+ schemes pre-Brexit whilst a student in the North-East of England.
Come along to find out more about the campaign which will return the UK to Erasmus+.
