UK-EU Youth Experience Scheme

Motion Text

That this House recognises, ahead of the EU-UK summit, the benefits the Youth Experience Scheme could bring to young people across the United Kingdom and welcomes the ongoing practical negotiations between the UK Government and the European Union to reduce youth mobility barriers between the two; encourages the Government to work in partnership with the EU to ensure this scheme is as beneficial as possible to youth in the UK by removing the cap on opportunities and therefore making sure young people are not unfairly excluded; and notes that this would allow those in the scheme to travel, study, and work freely in Europe, minimise financial and visa barriers to participation to ensure that the scheme remains accessible to as many young people as possible and lastly, ensure young people from Europe can contribute to industries across the UK.
