Where would you go if you received a free one-month

Bulgaria, Denmark, Finland, Italy or Spain.

The idea was launched by the European Parliament in 2016.

What if we, the European Union, offered every 18-year-old European an Interrail ticket,

allowing them for three weeks to discover daily life across Europe?

This summer, 15,000 18-year-olds have the chance to receive a pass

to discover up to 28 countries in Europe.

to give away free Interrail tickets to young people

in order for them to discover the beauties of the continent,

many thought the idea was crazy and questioned its feasibility.

Now we've taken this first step. But it's only the beginning, and we must take it further.

To participate, the young candidates must be 18 on 1 July

Applications open in June, the journey starts this summer.
