European Parliament CULT Committee Calls for Separate Funding for Youth

The European Parliament’s CULT (Education and Culture) Committee recently discussed the “Erasmus for All,” a programme proposed by the European Commission. Among other objectives, Erasmus for All would combine several existing programmes in the field of education, training and youth and increase current funding by 70%. Speaking on behalf of the Parliament, Committee Rapporteur Doris Pack MEP voiced concerns with the Commission’s proposal. Pack stressed that it is of “the utmost importance to create a separate Chapter for Youth in the Proposal, as well as a separate budget line.” For more information,visit the European Youth Forum here.
