Costs, Accommodation and Travel
โน๏ธ The official volunteer page does not state whether the programme covers accommodation, travel or any allowance, and it lists no participation fee. Check the official volunteer portal for these details before you apply.
Is This an Erasmus+ or ESC Programme?
No. The Expo Playmakers programme is run by Expo 2027 Belgrade and is not part of the Erasmus+ or European Solidarity Corps (ESC) programmes. It is an open volunteer call for the Exhibition, so the Erasmus+ and ESC rules, funding and Youthpass do not apply to it.
