Overview

Here is something that everyone can get involved in!

The Schoolbag, a youth education project, is dedicated to providing the proper tools and materials to the world's underprivileged and undereducated children. The organisation provides essential supplies around the world so young children can persue a proper education.

To raise awareness and funds, The Schoolbag is organising a world record attempt for the largeset chalk drawing ever created, and the best part is they want help from everyone.

Bringing together established artists and members of the community, The Schoolbag Record Attempt will aim to cover the pavement surrounding GOMA, The State Library and The Edge in chalk art. Registration stalls will be located in this area as well as locations opportunities for people donate directly to the cause by purchasing a schoolbag for a child in need, each bag containing a years supply of basic school supplies.

There will also be live performances from local bands such as Lita and the Bird with additional proceeds from the event being put towards The Schoolbag’s upcoming trip to Timor-Leste to deliver the much-needed schoolbags.
