Storked- Connections Tasks


Storked- Connections Tasks


Connection 1: The Baby Box
Baby box in Germany

The baby boxes are insulated boxes that have a warm blanket and an envelop inside that has contacts of people to call in case the parents change their minds, the people working there monitors the "baby box" and get a notification if the box is being opened and the box immediately gets locked, the hatch is where parents can dump their unwanted baby to get adopted. It has spread around Europe and the United States with 200 boxes in total. This practice has been done before in medieval Europe where you can get rid of your child and the hospital fosters them using the community's money.

Connection 2: The Underground Railroad







The Undeground Railroad is a secret association that began in the 1780s where they freed approximately 6000 slaves. Their code names such as "conductor", "lighthouse", "stations", "depot" and "stationmasters" our themes regarding train stations. Most "conductors" pretended to be a slave where they would travel to plantations to lead fugitives to safe houses known as "stations". Harriett Tubman was a former slave that has been saved by the Underground Railroad that later became one of the most well known "conductor" saving 300 slaves in a decade of her serving. The Underground Railroad activities ended when the Civil War began in 1862.

Like the "clappers" (terrorist group)  in Unwind, they replace their blood with nitroglycerin blend to make it explode like a bomb, setting it off by clapping blowing themselves up and everyone around them, a terrorist bombed a headquarter of a pro-government militia killing 60 people in Yemen by slamming a car into the building killing themselves in the process.
