Until December 11, 18-year-olds are responsible for answering five questions via a dedicated website and telling them how they want to travel. The trip should preferably be made by train, with a maximum duration of one month, in at least one EU country and between April 15 and October 31, 2019.
Some participants are also named project ambassadors and must be prepared to report publicly on their trip afterwards.
