The EU has launched a new application round for DiscoverEU. A total of around 40,000 travel passes will be awarded to 18-year-olds, of which almost 7,000 will go to Germany.
Young people born between July 1, 2007 and June 30, 2008 are eligible to apply. The application deadline is April 22, 2026 at 12:00 noon (Brussels time).
The program gives young Europeans the opportunity to travel around Europe for up to 30 days.
DiscoverEU is part of Erasmus+ and aims to strengthen exchange, mobility and the direct experience of Europe.
This sends a powerful message, especially to young people. Europe should not only be experienced politically, but also practically through encounters, travel, and exchanges across borders.
