Discover France with the Dr-Franz-Gerstner travel subsidy

You are a pupil, trainee or student between 16 and 27 years old? Do you live in Lower franconia and have always wanted to know wether the French people really wear berets and carry around their baguettes?

Or maybe you already know, maybe you have danced on the bridge of Avignon and would like to discover France under a different, new aspect? 

Alors, allez-y!  Find a project on your own, with your best friend or in a group of three or even four, and claim the Dr.-Franz-Gerstner subsidy from the Bezirk of Lower Franconia to realise this project in France. 

To have enough time for this adventure, your stay should last at least two weeks.

After your return to Germany, you will document your project in form of a report (with pictures) or a video. .

So what are you waiting for?! You will not regret it!

The application documents for the individual subsidy (€300) and the group subsidy (€500) can be found here. These should be submitted 2 months before the project starts.
