Britain is rejoining Erasmus+.
From 2027, thousands of students, apprentices and young people will be able to study and work across Europe, gaining international experience and new skills.
Run by the @BritishCouncil, the programme will unlock a range of opportunities for people from different backgrounds across the UK.

Air Canada’s CEO, Michael Rousseau: “I am deeply saddened that my inability to speak French has diverted attention from the profound grief of the families and the great resilience of Air Canada’s employees, who have demonstrated outstanding professionalism despite the events of the past few days.”
“Despite many lessons over several years, unfortunately, I am still unable to express myself adequately in French. I sincerely apologize for this, but I am continuing my efforts to improve.”
Michael Rousseau has been criticized for the four-minute condolence video posted online that included only two French words – “bonjour” and “merci”.
Canadian Government summoned Air Canada CEO Michael Rousseau to Ottawa after he released English-only condolence video for victims of fatal LaGuardia Airport crash
PM Carney condemned Rousseau's video while Quebec leaders called for his resignation.
