The European Movement has initiated a petition to rejoin Erasmus.

The Young European Movement, in partnership with European Movement UK and the British Youth Council, is calling on the UK Government to restore Britain’s membership of the Erasmus+ Programme, which was ended abruptly in 2020 despite promises of its continuation.
Restoring Britain’s place in the Erasmus+ Programme would unlock millions in additional funding for our schools and universities, giving students the opportunity to once more study and travel across Europe. We believe this is a vital step in retaining Britain’s standing in the world and upholding the world renown of our universities.
Further, restoring Britain’s membership of Erasmus+ would allow youth organisations in towns and villages across the country to regain access to much-needed funding to support their activities, promoting diversity and giving young people fresh opportunities.
Below is an email from Martin Taylor of the European Movement, sharing some points worth making in arguing the merits of Erasmus:
