Revolution Of. Connections

The brainchild of Cristina Gallegos and Jenisa Washington, and fueled by support and encouragement from the BMW Foundation Herbert Quandt Transatlantic Core Group, RevolutionOf.Connections is a 3 years, multicultural, multifaceted experiential campaign designed to raise awareness around values Germans and Americans share, celebrating commonalities and exploring the Waldorf cultural relevance in the U.S. It is intended to build friendships across the Atlantic that will continue beyond the duration of the project, crowdsourcing solutions to social disconnect, environmental concerns & “Not knowing about The Other”.

The Campaign includes a includes a community festival, a 21 months Van tour of Waldorf schools throughout US (a unique, mobile, traveling capsule of themed dialogues plus a Virtual Reality Immersive experience), and the creation of a Virtual Village – including a digital Waldorf community through the use of an app and a website-based Video Vault of friendship messages.

Using the young German and American voices of Waldorf students to share video narratives with one another, learn about German culture, and enjoy the German essence of Waldorf education in a festival setting, we aim to create engaging, exciting and electric experiences for children from 4 to 18 years old and their families, creating mixed-media platform to establish authentic relationships between American students and their German counterparts.
