DiscoverEU program

DiscoverEU is a European Union program, which allows you to know Europe through your own experience. Traveling by rail, discovering from a start breathtaking landscapes, as well as many larger and smaller towns and cities. You can apply for this program twice a year. Winners will get the Interrail tickets for the trip. DiscoverEU also gives you the opportunity to get to know the diversity of Europe, its culture, and history, as well as to meet people from all over the continent. The program also allows you to develop valuable skills such as independence, self-confidence, and an open-minded perspective.

Why it is worth it?

We are first-year students of Mining Engineering. We were mainly encouraged to take part in the program by the opportunity to visit Europe. Before, we had heard a lot about the DiscoverEU program, as well as the Interrail Ticket itself. Moreover, people who took part in previous editions made us want to experience it as well.

DiscoverEU we made dreams come true

The October application round was our only, unique chance to participate in the DiscoverEU program. There was a pool of almost 61,000 tickets for the entire European Union. However, there were more than 5 times more applicants. The pandemic lockdown made all participants even more determined. After we submitted our replies to the contest questions, there was a long, impatient waiting time for the results. Thanks to our efforts and a bit of luck, we managed to get the tickets we wanted.

For now, our travel plan is based on visiting Western Europe. Berlin, Benelux countries, Paris …, further we still don’t know where to go, but the Interrail ticket allows us to change our plans regularly.
