Tim, along with other journalists, helped with this idea. They drove a van around the Netherlands and visited schools to talk about the importance of voting. They also took a special train trip across the country. Important political leaders like Mark Rutte, Alexander Pechtold, Marianne Thieme, and Gert-Jan Segers joined Tim on the trains to meet young people. Their goal was to encourage 850,000 young people, who were voting for the first time, to cast their votes.
