We at Oxford for Europe look forward to welcoming friends, new and old, to our first face-to-face meeting for some time.
In light of the forthcoming general election, this year is a critical time for our movement. The realities of Brexit are continuing to bite affecting all areas of our lives resulting in a positive shift in public opinion, with the latest polls showing around 63% of those who had a view stating that they would favour rejoining the EU.
The adverse impact of Brexit on industry, farmers, the performing arts, on exporters and now also on importers becomes clearer day by day. As a result there has been a decline in the general sense of public well-being. Young people are facing much more limited horizons, and the loss of the Erasmus Plus program is only a part of a larger whole.
People need to believe that a brighter future is possible. Our speakers will be discussing ways in which we can help with the step-by-step approach towards a closer relationship with Europe leading to the UK rejoining the EU . Questions from the audience are welcomed. We look forward to an animated discussion.
About our Speakers:

Liz Webster
Liz will be well known to many through her many appearances on radio and TV. She is founder of Save British Farming and has been campaigning actively on single market membership including organising demonstrations that have seen sheep and tractors on the streets of Westminster.
She will be talking about the changes which have occurred in the farming sector in recent years and how much is to be gained by better relations with our EU neighbours.
Willow Fisher
Willow is Head of Campaigns for YEM UK (Young European Movement). He is a 2nd Year PPE student at the University of Manchester. YEM’s main campaign focus has been the ‘Embrace Erasmus’ campaign advocating for the UK’s return to the Erasmus+ programme, and educating people on its qualities and the benefits of participation. This campaign is being supported by the British Youth Council and the Erasmus Student Network, as well as Mayor Sadiq Khan and Sir Vince Cable, and has received national media attention.
He will be talking about what Brexit has meant for young people, including loss of Erasmus Plus and reduced opportunities to travel and work abroad and what the YEM UK are trying to do.

Saturday, March 23, 2024 at 06:00 PM · The Chapel in Truro , United Kingdom
This event has been scheduled to take place on the national, "Day for Rejoin" and is a collaboration between Cornwall for Europe and the European Movement.
This will be a chance for CfE members, their friends, and any interested Cornwall residents, to come together to listen to Molly's views on building bridges with our EU neighbours, the impact of Brexit, particularly on the Cornwall fishing industry, and the road to Rejoin.
There will be some time afterwards to ask pertinent questions and to socialise, as well as partake of some light refreshment. Teas and coffees will be provided. This is our first opportunity to get together as a group this year - and with the added bonus of having Molly with us.
With her previous experience as an MEP, and with the knowledge gained within her current role as Senior Vice-Chair of the European Movement, Molly is well placed to provide a first hand account of where we stand now in regard to Brexit and the EU, and how we can move forward towards building those bridges with our European friends and renewing a closer relationship.
