DiscoverEU | New Call in October 2022
We have already been talking about DiscoverEU, haven’t we? For a quick recap see our last article.
DiscoverEU is a community of young 18-years-old travellers that focuses on preparing their travel journeys, sharing their stories while or after traveling or providing tips and suggestions to other young travellers. As such, it works primarily through their official Facebook group. It was born under the initiative of the European Commission, and it is now available to get through on the European Youth Portal.
