Brexit and relationship with Europe debated at Chichester

The university hosted delegates from the European Movement UK last week, who delivered talks on the future of the Brexit model.

Madeleina Kay, the youth leader for the movement, was among the speakers, sharing insights with university students and sparking conversations.

The debates also led students to reflect on the significance of Europe as a geographical and ideological entity.

Attendees were urged to consider potential scenarios for British-European relations over the next decade.

An open-minded atmosphere was cultivated, encouraging the free exchange of varying viewpoints on the future of these relationships.

A standout topic from the gathering was the historical context post-Second World War, when nation-states began to collaborate and share resources to rebuild stronger communities after the turmoil of that era.

The future of Britain's interactions with Europe was a key subject, as students explored a multitude of potential approaches to this complex relationship.

History Professor Hugo Frey expressed satisfaction with the event, emphasising the importance of student participation in ongoing political debates.

He said: "It is great for our students to listen to an important side in the European debate and to not only follow its development, but also to see how it is an active part of British politics today.

"Many ideas came up and we look forward to hosting further discussion events of this kind that engage with political parties and political movements over the next year."
