200 active thinkers, makers and creators gather in Montenegro for Green Culture World.
200 is a small number, compared to the people we need to become active change makers. In order to dramatically increase the impact of their thoughts,
actions and ideas, we need to connect a vast network of change makers.
hop off and on at several interesting stops.
These people and projects will travel with us to Montenegro. You can support their projects by sharing their storys or donate an amount.
Elmo Vermijs | architectural designer
How do we restore the great conversation with nature? What is the role of the material wood within that conversation?
Ida van der Lee | Artist
On the way to Montenegro I want to design a ritual to say goodbye to fossil fuels. Saying goodbye to the old means to welcome the new, the sustainable energy sources.
Peter de Koning | Musician – Earth Protector
Working on a worldwide artistic, activistic network of artists and non-artists that make noise for social and ecological justice. The music and dance serves the purposes of drawing attention and to drum up involved people for action.
Malou van Doormaal | artist
Talking about sustainability, it seems logical to focus on the material world. But how sustainable are our social contacts? Who benefits from who? What is the role of money in the interaction with a waiter, train guard or cleaner? I’m going to investigate how we can make these temporary contacts more sustainable. What is needed? Where are the tensions? And, do we actually want that?
Annabella Rijksen | Student Art & Economy
I am doing research on design and climate change and how collaboration and co-creation between designers and scientists, politicians, engineers, etc. can create more positive impact on the environment and our climate.
Merlijn Twaalfhoven | composer and initiator of The Turn Club
The exchange of ideas and the connection between people of different nations is crucial for sustainable development and cultural creation.
As a composer, program director of Citizen Artist Incubator and initiator of The Turn Club, I love travelling and international collaborations.
But the pollution of air travel and the stressful planning of such trips are bothering me.
I am dedicated to develop inspiring forms of green, slow travel to conferences, festivals and during concert tours.
Not just booking trains, but also creating forms of networking and sharing knowledge along the way.
During the Green Culture Train Camp to Montenegro, I will collect ideas, experiences and tools for green, inspiring journeys for busy people.
With The Turn Club, we will develop a method to make international travel convenient and inspiring. Contact us if you are the organizer of a conference, if you want to join an international event with your team or if you are an artist considering to create a green tour.
Thieu Besselink | founder at Townmaking
My efforts as educator, urbanist, social thinker, writer, or speaker are all aimed at learning how to make a difference in a not yet sustainable world.
Anke van Ravensteijn | Journalist and campaigner
Green Travel should be the standard.
With The Turn Club, we are developing a method to make international travel convenient and inspiring.
