This is the result of the latest round of the DiscoverEU scheme, part of the Erasmus+ programme, which the Commission announced today.<\/p>\n<p>DiscoverEU, as part of the Erasmus+ programme, offers 18-year-old residents of EU Member States and countries associated to Erasmus+ the opportunity to travel throughout Europe and explore its diversity. Pass holders can learn about cultural heritage and history and connect with people from all over the continent.<\/p>\n<p>Iliana Ivanova, Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth, said: \u201cIn terms of numbers, this application round is the most successful since DiscoverEU joined the Erasmus+ programme in 2021. I am happy that so many young people will get an opportunity to discover Europe and explore its culture and history. The ever-growing enthusiasm of young people, highlighted during the European Year of Youth 2022 and the European Youth Week 2024, is truly inspiring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Young people benefitting from the ticket will be able to travel\u202falone or in a group of up to five people between 1 July 2024 and 30 September 2025. Over 180,000 young people had applied for the latest round in April 2024. That brings the number of applications to 1.4 million since the scheme was launched in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>The DiscoverEU applications open twice per year, in spring and autumn. Selected applicants are offered a travel pass and travel predominantly by rail. Travellers also receive a European Youth Card, offering discounts on cultural visits, learning activities, sports, local transportation, accommodation, and food.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/commission\/presscorner\/detail\/en\/mex_24_3063\">European Commission<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/commission-distributes-35511-travel-passes-to-young-people-as-part-of-the-discovereu-scheme\/\">Commission distributes 35,511 travel passes to young people as part of the DiscoverEU scheme<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[557,555,9140,9141],"class_list":["post-131062","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-commission","tag-csr-news-en","tag-travel-pass","tag-young-people"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131062","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=131062"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131062\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=131062"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=131062"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=131062"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
