Fantastic news for young people coming out of today’s EU-UK Summit 2025 as a commitment in principle is agreed for the UK to re-join the Erasmus+ programme, the international programme for education, training, youth and sport in Europe. NYA advocated tirelessly for access to Erasmus+ through our seat at the table on the UK/EU negotiations with UK Young Ambassador @CuttinMaurizio representing BYC, spearheading the push in NYA’s space on the group. Find out more here: ec.europa.eu/commission/pres…
A photo of Maurizio Cuttin, UK Youth Ambassador. a quote reads ""Today is a good day for young people across the country. At last, the government has green-lit negotiating a youth mobility deal with our European neighbours and has embraced re-entering the Erasmus+ youth exchange scheme. Today's EU-UK Summit marks a positive leap forward in recognising that young people are the future of the bilateral relationship and deserve more recognition, as the group hit hardest by Brexit".

It's distressing to see a Black boy in Carlisle being racially attacked. We are aware that arrests have been made, however we hope the perpetrators will face charges for their actions. We send solidarity to the child and @antiracistcmbra for their support for him and his family.
