We sat down with the rapporteur of the EESC opinion on EU-UK youth engagement, Cillian Lohan, to ask him about the potential benefits of a youth mobility scheme, proposed by the European Commission and backed by the EESC.

Now that the has UK rejected the proposed EU-wide deal on the free movement of young people, what are other possible approaches to restore the ties severed by Brexit?
