The organisers will provide the participants with three meals per day and accommodation, a set of brand merchandise, training and support, a unique experience, and personal skill development. Travelling expenses will be paid by the volunteers themselves or the organisations that send them. They will be required to arrive in Orenburg for training no later than 5 August.

The first Eurasia forum took place in the region in 2016. In 2017, it became one of the most visited venues of the 29th World Festival of Youth and Students in Sochi. In 2018, the Eurasia forum joined the pool of national venues and gathered some 800 participants from 77 countries and 80 Russian regions. The forum's grant fund totalled 3.7 million roubles. The volunteer corps included 180 people.

This year, the Eurasia Global Forum in Orenburg is expected to be attended by 300 Russian citizens and 500 foreigners.
