Description
As part of the European Year of Youth, UIC is organizing a video competition “The cool rail project” for young travelers aged between 15 and 29.
The aim of the competition is to better understand what are the elements that make trains attractive for you and to inspire others to hop on a train and get to know new places now that it is possible to travel again.
Traveling by train is cool, convenient and sustainable. Share your experience with us and be part of the challenge.
The winners will be invited to present their video and ideas to make rail even cooler in a special workshop to be held on 28 October.
The videos with the most “likes” will be published on the UIC YouTube under the hashtags:
#CoolRailProject
#RailTourism
#EUYearofYouth
#SustainableTourism
