60,000 young people will be allowed to travel by train across Europe for free next year. Registration for the so-called EU DiscoverEU procedure began at 12 noon and will continue for two weeks. You can participate if you are an EU citizen born between 1 July 2001 and 1 January 2004.

To participate, you must meet some conditions. “Participants must answer five multiple-choice questions about the European Union and specifically about EU youth initiatives. In addition, there is a watershed question.”

The spokesperson said the applications are arranged based on nationality and on the basis of answers to the test and additional question. If – given the number of cards available – there are too many equally rated people, then it applies: first come, first served.
