On 11 October, a new round of applications will be launched for 35.000 young people to discover Europe through free rail passes. The next round of applications for DiscoverEU will be launched on Tuesday 11 October at 13:00 (Romanian time) and will close on Tuesday 25 October at 13:00 (Romanian time). This is the second time this year that 35.000 young people will receive rail passes to explore Europe and its rich culture. The invitation is open to candidates from Erasmus+ programme countries, including Iceland, Liechtenstein, North Macedonia, Norway, Serbia and Turkey.
Here are the conditions!
To try to win a travel pass, young people can register on the European Youth Portal , where they will have to answer five questions in a quiz and one additional question. Candidates who successfully complete the selection quiz and who were born between 1 January 2004 and 31 December 2004 will be able to travel to Europe for up to 30 days during the travel period between 1 March 2023 and 29 February 2024. Those who turn 18 in the first half of next year will be able to register in the March 2023 round.
With this second round, a total of 70.000 travel passes will be made available in 2022, thanks to the increased budget for the European Year of Youth. In addition, beneficiaries will continue to receive a card with over 40.000 discount options for public transport, cultural sites, accommodation, food, sports and other services available in the eligible countries. They will also be able to participate in DiscoverEU meetings, an initiative launched in summer 2022, consisting of an exciting cultural programme lasting from one to three days, covering all Erasmus+ countries.
