What is some information for high school participants?

With a high school year, your time at school will be an unforgettable experience! Getting to know another country and culture, making new friends, experiencing a change in everyday school life and learning to speak a foreign language fluently – a year at high school is not only fun and lots of exciting experiences, it also broadens your horizon! In order to be able to embark on this adventure with complete peace of mind, reliable insurance cover is particularly important.

• Your tablet is stolen from your dorm room.
• While surfing, you fall off the board and seriously injure your head. You will need to be treated by a doctor for a long period of time.

We therefore recommend that you take out complete cover, including health insurance, personal liability insurance, accident insurance and assistance insurance. All these insurances are included in a PROTRIP-WORLD insurance package. If you are under 29 years of age, you can even get PROTRIP-WORLD at a special rate.
