What is Europe on Track?

Europe on Track is a project of AEGEE, run by 25 young volunteers who aim to raise awareness, to create a space for discussion and to capture the opinions of youth in Europe on important social issues. Thanks to InterRail, our 9 ambassadors in 3 teams (one videographer, one photographer and one interviewer per team) will travel by train across 20 countries in one month to deliver workshops, interview young people and organize events in cooperation with 200 volunteers from 30 cities in Europe. This year Europe on Track will focus on a very important topic: Sustainability and Climate Change. The journey can be followed by social media via blogs, videos, and photo

  •  Your trip from home to Thessaloniki and from Kraków to your location will NOT be covered by default, but we’re working on this;
  • Health insurance will NOT be provided by the project team, but it is mandatory to have an international health insurance for the period 13th March – 28th April 2018 (we will assist you on this);
  • Visa fees will NOT be provided, but we will provide the ambassadors with invitation letters and try to lower the costs to EUR 0;
  • Pocket money (for extras, such as shopping, ice-cream, clubs…) is not included. Our experience from previous Europe on Track editions indicates that about EUR 300 pocket money will enable traveling ambassadors to realize the project in a fun and effective manner, although it may be less depending on your personal spending habits;
  • We will provide the costs of reservations for tickets during the trip (22nd March – 22nd April)
