From the Resene News – issue 2/2006 Joining hands - 'Joining Hands Around the World'
project 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. |

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.
