Pavement Drawing for Guinness World Records!

FRCCF Launches JOOnior Smile – 1 st June 2008 Blog

JOOnior Smile, an event that aims at making the biggest pavement drawing in the world to enter Guinness World Records, has its own blog: www.jooniorzambet.blogspot.com.

The JOOnior Smile blog will be constantly updated with information about the latest event arrangements to be accessed by anyone in Cluj and elsewhere. Moreover, the blog will try to get the reactions of all those interested in the biggest Children's Day event in Romania .

JOOnior Smile is organised by Cluj-Napoca Mayor's Office and FRCCF and it aims at setting a new world pavement drawing record and writing it in the Guinness Book of Records. “Currently, the world pavement drawing record is of 5,612 sqm. On June 1 st , we are planning to draw up at least 7,000 sqm of pavement with the help of approximately 2,000 children from Cluj” (Camelia Mates, Fundraising and PR Manager, FRCCF).

The students of Romulus Ladea Arts High School will be in charge of coming up with a concept for the drawing – which has to be homogenous –, of marking the drawing outlines and coordinating the children. The subject of the drawing is Child Smile (the group of young artists will make a drawing that can illustrate what makes children smile and happy). The drawing will be made on the newest beltway of the town.

Throughout the whole June 1 st day, there will be witnesses to the making of this giant drawing, and a licensed topometry expert will measure the drawn up surface. These people will give statements to Guinness World Records, which will be sent with detailed documentation to London for record authentication.

Cluj County School Inspectorate advertises the event in all the schools from town in order to involve all the children who want to make this giant drawing and to support children in need.
