The European Commission announced the DiscoverEU spring call, which will run from March 15 to March 29 and will allow thousands of people, including Moroccans, to travel by train across Europe.
According to SchengenVisaInfo, 35,000 young people will acquire a travel pass to have an enjoyable time in Europe.
18-year-olds from EU Member States and select third countries are able to apply.
“Those willing to try this opportunity out, have to apply on the European Youth Portal, where they will have to answer a five-question-form as well as a tiebreaker question,” indicated the same source.
Participants will be able to engage in DiscoverEU meet-ups with continuing cultural programs lasting one to three days in all Erasmus+ countries.
Young people from Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Palestine, Syria, and Tunisia will benefit from the program, in addition to those from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, and Montenegro, as well as Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine.
Applicants who were born between July 1, 2004, and June 30, 2005, and were chosen for the travel pass will be able to visit Europe for 30 days between June 15, 2023, and September 30, 2024.
Those who turn 18 in the second half of the year will be eligible to apply in the following round, which will begin in October 2023.
In addition to Member States, nationals of Erasmus+ countries such as Iceland, North Macedonia, Liechtenstein, Norway, Turkey, and Serbia will be eligible to apply for the travel pass.
“We are glad to make available, for 2023, a total of 70,000 travel passes to 18-year-old people who will be able to experience our Union first-hand,” Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education, and Youth Mariya Gabriel said.
Similarly to the previous round of this program, beneficiaries will continue to profit from a discount card with over 40,000 discount possibilities on public transportation, culture, housing, and food, as well as other services available in all EU Member nations.
