The “Connection Station”*

*Note: This is a concept under development.

The “Connection Station” is an installment designed to invite meaningful connections and harmonious experiences between humans. The intention is to create a context for visitors of public spaces in cities around the world to be able to share heartfelt moments with their fellow beings. An invitation to pause and simply be in silence with another person, even if only for a minute, can make significant positive change on our well-being, reduce isolation and polarization.

In a time overly focused on electronic devices, productivity, and growth, intentional time to enjoy the art of human connection can be a great way to balance things. Seeing each other without judgement and offering all of our attention to this moment is a refreshing way to meet in the space beyond stories and opinions. After having shared silence and eye-contact, the need is often not there to start a conversation. At other times, beautiful conversations and new friendships appear out of seemingly nowhere.

Inspiration to create this as a semi-permanent public offering came after around a year of experimenting in different spaces and at events, having resulted in over 1500 connections and a large amount of references and public feedback.

Our purpose is to engage and work together with organizations, local authorities and volunteers to design and create unique “Connection Stations” for the public to enjoy.
