Joining hands

Hundreds of Resene testpots were called into action for the launch of the 'Joining Hands Around the World' project launched by a group of young people (aged 13-20) from International Christchurch Youth (ICY) supported by the Christchurch City Council International Relations Team in their vision of 'Bringing World Youth Together'. ICY's objectives include promoting cultural awareness and understanding of the world's cultures, especially those of sister cities, and creating youth involvement in international relations.

The evolving project started by inviting local young people and young people up to the age of 18, from Christchurch's six sister cities to 'Give us a hand' by leaving their painted handprint on strips of calico material, along with their name, age, school and city. The strips were joined together at Culture Galore, then an expanded collection at KidsFest.

The tip of the iceberg of an evolving project, hundreds more Resene testpots are awaiting their chance to join in the action.
