The Green Train - Riding the Night, Planting the Future
The Green Train represents a groundbreaking collaboration between sustainable transport, ecological restoration, and cultural engagement.
The Green Train brings together the Finnish artist Nina Backman’s Silence Project, and the enviroment Project A Million Trees to Finland together with European Sleeper, and a network of environmental partners to create a unique art-driven journey across borders
From 21–23 October, the European Sleeper train between Berlin and Amsterdam becomes a moving platform for reflection, dialogue, and collaboration. Along the way, travellers can take part in tree planting, bring home seedlings from the Tree Cabin, and join seminars and workshops on sustainability and culture.
The Green Train is more than a journey. It’s the start of a shared movement to create climate-conscious routes that connect landscapes, communities, and cultures across Europe.
