How to make WOW-day into something more than fund raising.
On 29 September 2011 we are joining forces all over Europe and with your ideas and activities we will raise money to support social projects across the globe. In recent years WOW-Day has achieved fantastic results. In 2010 almost 150 schools in 14 countries raised around 300,000 Euros to support disadvantaged children in more than 20 countries.
Applications are open to all classes from grade 1 to grade 13 and you can find out more about what you can do to join in and about who we help through our website and leaflets.
Curriculum research and development within the schools and training centres is encouraged and disseminated, as is keeping up to date with relevant academic research.
