TURN OFF YOUR SCREENS FOR THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER: TAKE A BREAK (and Get Ready for School)! June 11 2019
Join us in an agreement to turn off screens for the month of September. The Research Institute for Waldorf Education is offering this campaign as one of its contributions for the Waldorf100 celebration year.
SIGN UP BY EMAILING patrice@waldorf-research.org
This is all it takes! Just let us know you’re “in” and we will add you to the list. Commit in your home, in faculty meetings, in careers to prepare for September. Plans can begin over the summer! Office personnel can designate hours per day they will be on screens, but then plan tasks that do not require screens. That is what we will do here at RIWE and Waldorf Publications. We will let you know what we decide here. Send your ideas; share the relief! Classrooms can get to know teachers and students. Parents can hear at home about the new school year, new teachers, new subjects. Eyes can rest, addictions can subside, time can open wide. Possibilities are endless and SCREENLESS!
