EU programs for youth are in danger.

During our event, some audience members interrupted the planned agenda with shouts from the gallery. We protect free speech; we will not, however, tolerate any aggression against our participants.
We offer our support to @EUJS and anyone affected.

We are saddened by the news.
This means loss of opportunities for young Brits and dismantling of a bridge connecting them with peers abroad. Making certain that young people have platforms for collaboration and action must be a priority.
