Any1Can: Charlotte students paint hundreds of t-shirts to raise awareness of global issues
Posted on 12 Mar 2013 by Cindy Ballaro
Students at Rocky River High School recently held their Any1Can Painting Party.
The Any1Can Project is engaging student leaders and teachers at 16 schools in Charlotte and the greater metro area. They participate in a cross-school, collective effort to learn about global issues, raise funds to build a school in South Sudan, and inspire communities to get involved. Charlotte-based non-profit Mothering Across Continents developed the Any1CanSM Project to support students and teachers as an extension of MAC’s project The Global ClassSM.
The culmination of this initiative is The Any1Can Project & Art Installation: T-shirts for Social Good at Sensoria, CPCC’s annual festival. From April 13–19, this giant installation will feature hundreds of T-shirts hand-painted by students. The shirts creatively highlight youth awareness of seven global issues:
Join us for the opening event, Sat. April 13 noon to 4pm, in the Taylor Hall Gym on the CPCC Central Campus (1201 Elizabeth Ave.) Free admission and parking. For details, visit Any1CanProject.org
Students at area schools are hand-painting T-shirts expressing global issues they care about.
