How Your School Can Take Part

On WOW-Day, you take action to help children and young people around the world access Waldorf education and to improve the living and working conditions of people with disabilities.

How about spending a day working at an exciting company?
Harvesting potatoes in a field?
Organising a raffle?

There are countless ways to create your own WOW-Day. Get creative – every action is welcome and can make a real difference. You can find a colourful collection of ideas here.

Top 5 Ideas

Work for a day

To work for a day may be an exciting experience. How about helping the neighbours, running errands for the elderly or working in a company? Perhaps you gain a valuable insight into what profession you would like to pursue after school.

Sales activities

From freshly prepared specialties to homemade postcards, bracelets or notebooks - a sales booth offers many opportunities. Similarly, you could organize a flea market with all the things that you no longer need, but that may just be what someone else is looking for.

Charity runs

Ready, steady, go! A charity run provides you with the opportunity to test your limits. Find a running track and sponsors that are willing to support you and you are ready to go! More information

Discover your talents

Making music as a street musician, performing a skit or a circus show - you can discover your hidden talents working for WOW-Day. How about organizing a performance off the premises of your school, for example at a retirement home?

Extraordinary

Make use of the project days and get to know a new country every year. Engage with that country’s geography and educational situation and, for example, learn traditional Indian dances or cook a spicy curry. Then you organize a colorful fair celebrating your chosen country’s culture and, instead of an entrance fee, have your visitors donate to a Waldorf institution in need.
