WOW - Wheels on Waves - Pinksie
Donation protected
The ambitious scope of the WoW project is to spread across the United States and to Europe a message of peace and respect for individuals with disabilities through one fundamental document: the ONU Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
According to the WoW project, the Lo Spirito di Stella catamaran will depart in April 2017 from Miami to New York, making the first 5 stops along the East Coast of the United States, with 5 crew teams that, in line with the guidelines of the project could have very different characteristics and skills.
The final objective of this first part of the expedition is to reach New York, where at the United Nations headquarters of New York we will receive the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities directly from the ONU General Secretary.
After receiving this important document, "Lo Spirito di Stella" will start its expedition across the ocean and into Europe. After 7 stops in as many European ports, the Convention will be handed over to Pope Francis.
With this expedition, the WoW project wants to ensure "universal" visibility for an extremely important tool for the safeguard of all people.
Pinksiethe Whale with Associazione Mercurio is supporting the project thruogh creative and educational workshops about diversity and disability organised in Miami, New York, Rome and Trieste.
The expedition will be a wealth of experiences, emotions and testimonials, and will become a symbol of inclusion and aggregation. There will be many different crew teams that will board the vessel in succession from one stop to the next, to emphasize the universal connotation of this expedition for the overcoming of barriers.
Each leg will have a really special crew team, consisting of 4 to 6 crew members capable of working together in guiding the vessel or "telling" the story of the expedition, thanks to their personal abilities. Everybody can register and become a member of the crew for free.
Help us to support the cost of the journey of each member of the crew and provide for the kids workshop and the related material: new book, an app with virtual breath of pink balloons developed specifically to accompany the catamaran in its journey and educational poster.
