Frequently asked questions
Are 2027 applications open?
Opening can only be confirmed with a published call, dates and official destination. You can express interest and ask questions.
Do the 2026 rules apply to 2027?
Not automatically. The 2026 Official Rules belong to that edition; 2027 rules require confirmation.
Where does my participation begin?
Explore the mission and pathway appropriate to your context. A conversation can clarify requirements; it does not count as a submitted application.
