In comparison to other fundraising campaigns, WOW-Day emerged from within, from the Waldorf movement itself, as a
joint project of many countries. Social commitment has always been an integral part of many schools. Many fairs, charity
runs, and concerts were initiated by the schools themselves, with the aim of donating the proceeds. The campaign
enables us to pool and expand the campaigns that already exist at many schools. We invite more schools to participate
and thereby make their worldwide commitment visible.

The Friends of Waldorf Education were founded almost 50 years ago, aiming to foster childcare and schooling based
on Waldorf education. With the WOW-Day student campaign they mainly support Waldorf institutions. Deliberately,
because many of these initiatives are too small to raise international awareness. Some are pioneering institutions,
fighting persistently against adversity and restrictions in their country. A path that many schools have pursued before
them, oftentimes succeeding only through the support of others. Today, these schools themselves work to help those
that come after them. That is both beautiful and moving. Our campaign day opens the door (and the hearts), so that
students from around the world get to know and connect with each other.

In 2019, you can conduct your fundraising campaigns throughout
the entire year, even several times. Together with you we would like
to celebrate the centennial of the first Waldorf School in 1919 and
the worldwide impulse that followed from this event. Let us make a
powerful start into the second century of Waldorf Schools.

In 2019, Waldorf Education is celebrating it‘s centennial

On this occasion we would like to invite you to a very special event in cooperation with the Waldorf 100-relay
race: a charity run that connects all the schools in the world. It can be a simple run to the closest school, a
star race connecting all the schools of a region, or a relay race through the entire country – for each distance
covered, the runners ask sponsors for donations, large and small.

The history of CES Waldorf dates back to 1997 when a group of social workers together with Helmut von Loebell,
an industrial manager who has been living in Colombia since 1956 and is co-founder of other social projects in
Bogotá like the SOS Children´s Village Colombia, avoided the eviction of the dwellings of 36 refugee families

Combine the yeast with the sugar and warm water and set aside for 10 minutes. Combine salt and flour before
slowly stirring it into the yeast mixture until you have a soft dough. Knead for another 10 minutes. If it sticks too
much to your fingers, more flour can be added. Cover the dough loosely with a clean cloth and let rise in a warm
place for about 1 hour until it has doubled in size. Knead the dough again and roll out, 2 cm thick. Cut out rounds
using a glass or a cookie cutter. Pour oil into a frying pan until it is about 5 cm high and heat it to about 200 °C on

The WOW-Day cookbook is a joint project of many people around the globe. It collects for the first time recipes
by Waldorf institutions from all over the world. In addition to cooking instructions, the booklet provides insights
into Waldorf schools and kindergartens as well as curative education and social therapy centers worldwide. Our
aim here is to bring people together all over the world, here and everywhere, and to encourage them to create
things together - in the kitchen and in the world.
