Re-introduce EU Youth Mobility Schemes in the UK

I believe there is an appetite for EU Mobility schemes to be re-introduced in this country. Programmes such as E+ projects (and university exchanges) and European Solidarity Corps are invaluable opportunities for the youth of this country. As someone who has been lucky enough to take part in these schemes, I truly believe the benefits for British youngsters would be life changing. To work with organisations in the EU, having access to funded opportunities, meeting people from all over the continent and beyond, learning new skills, new languages and building themselves, their interests and understanding and connecting with our continent. 
Additionally, I know that there is an appetite on the continent for youth mobility schemes to be reintroduced in the UK too.

So what I am asking is - please reintroduce these mobility schemes to help build a better, skilled, more open minded and inclusive population of youngsters who have access to a multitude of opportunities. 

Why is this important?

Opportunities! To meet new people, learn a new language, learn new skills, grow your confidence, make connections and build friendships with people from Spain to Azerbaijan to Jordan! Open your mind, open your heart and open your world! And it's such an amazing opportunity to become more employable! 

EU mobility schemes have so much to offer, why should the youth of the UK continue to be deprived of opportunities? 

Lets get the ball rolling, and start to rebuild our relationship with the EU whilst opening up the doors to a world of opportunities!
