Gift by Gift for a Better World (ギフト・バイ・ギフト・フォー・ベター・ワールド/よりよい世界へ贈り物を届けよう)

Thursday, January 12, 2012 - 11:24

'Gift by Gift for a Better World' 


Students Rebuild invites you to join us for Gift by Gift for a Better World, a 3-day public ceremony and workshop at Sendai Train Station in Sendai, Japan. The centerpiece of the event is the magnificent Paper Crane Sculpture, designed by the students at the Tohoku University of Art & Design and composed of 100,000 of your paper cranes. After the installation is presented, young people and their families will gather to make gift boxes filled with paper cranes, to be given to children throughout Japan as a symbolic gift of hope and optimism!

宮城県仙台市で1月13日から15日まで、「ギフト・バイ・ギフト・フォー・ベター・ワールド」というワークショップを行います。世界から寄せられた10万羽の折鶴の折鶴を使って、東北芸工大学の学生たちと一緒にオブジェを完成させましょう。ワークショップでは、世界中の子供たちが東北の子供たちを思って折った折鶴を、ギフトボックスにつめて、日本中の子供たちに海外と東北の子供たちからの贈り物として送る予定です。
