The Plastic Revolution is a project initiated by the Institute for Art and Innovation. It supports young changemakers to develop and accelerate solution ideas to end the growing plastic epidemic. A program of online events such as workshops, makeathon and panels help tomorrow’s leaders to ideate, co-create, and collaborate. 50+ mentors and experts share their expertise to foster knowledge and thus ensure that ideas are prototyped, tested, and developed into their most effective iteration. The project is kindly supported by amazing partners and organizations such as the Albrecht von Dewitz Foundation, and the Press and Information Office of the Federal Government of Germany. Ms. Lombardo joined our project from 1 June 2020 until 20 October 2020. She was mainly part of the communication and design team. She contributed graphic design tasks including logo design, social media posts, and various online promotional graphics. She was responsible for the liaison with the community team to support social media strategies and communication. As a very valued team member she always made sure that the teams reached their goals regarding the community outeach as well as social media management via the online platform Later.
