Should enrichment activities be the main reason to apply?

No. They are valuable support, but the application should center on project fit, exchange purpose, and public value.

What is a common mistake?

A common mistake is treating the term as a label instead of connecting it to verified requirements, applicant evidence, and the specific Fulbright award context.
