It should be 100% support for our young citizens.
Living and working in the EU is without a doubt a great experience.
We need to continue to have good relations with EU countries.
Young people are the future and I wish them well.

I can't seem to find out who pays for this. My daughter, currently at uni,would love to spend a year abroad but can barely afford the train fare home for Christmas. Is this fully funded, or just a middle class jolly?
