The Commission launched the Spring Call under the title "Discover Europe", through which 35,000 young people will receive a free train ticket to explore Europe.
According to a statement by the European Commission in Brussels, the application period began on Wednesday at 12:00 CET and ends on March 29 at 12:00 CET. To win a transport ticket, young people are invited to apply on the European Youth Portal, answering five questions and a sub-question.
