Regarding the point of your article (School trips to UK from EU could halve as Brexit hits cultural exchanges, 4 June), we have a very significant paradox. A world where its future leaders have great empathy for the UK is a sine qua non for establishing global Britain. And there are so many things that the country can do to help itself in this way, in addition to making school trips from abroad easier. In the grand scheme of things, all these things are cheap, and actually fantastic value for money in terms of the soft power they buy. Martin DoveCambridgeI completely agree with the prediction that European schools will send fewer children to Great Britain as part of class trips.
