The UK is finally coming back to Erasmus+ for 2027 (and hopefully even more to come after Andy Burnham's speech on Tuesday!) but it still hasn't yet rejoined the European Solidarity Corps. A petition has now been set up to try and change that, so please do sign and share this petition if you'd like there to be more mobility opportunities for young people to help build a closer relationship between the UK and the EU. The problem seems to be that hardly anyone seems to know what the ESC is so the petition also serves to raise awareness - I think the reason we got Erasmus back and not this is simply that Erasmus was far better known and publicised here.

Here's the link where everyone can sign in support: https://www.change.org/EuropeanSolidarityCorps

And if there are any UK citizens or residents here, there is also a UK parliament petition on Rejoining the European Solidarity Corps (NOT to be confused with the Rejoin the EU one that's also going around at the moment!) that they can also sign here: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/780859

These are two logo options for the Volt chapter in Ternopil, Ukraine. The Ukrainian team is steadily growing and approaching the launch of the regional chapter's media page, for which a logo needs to be selected.

The sword and the key are the main symbols and elements of the coat of arms.

Blue and yellow are the colors not only of Ukraine but also of the city itself.

As a European with hidden disabilities, my body decided to just stop working today, and due to my luck, my train got stranded for half an hour right near Düsseldorf Central Station.

But all of this didn't matter in the end, the "random" security check, the long ways (that took a toll on my body), what really saved me: EasyPASS for EU citizens (and foreigners with German residence permit)

This is a privilege I love, adore, and would hate to lose. Thank you EU, thank you Germany.

Ukraine has obtained permission to hold a demonstration by the UN mission on October 1 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

It is very important not to let Russia spread its fake narratives about its war of aggression against Ukraine.

If you can, please join the Ukrainian demonstration and share the information.
