nd Australia. To date we have distributed over 100,000 stickers.
In spring 2011, the Project began working with children at The Earth School in NYC. Team members helped youngsters (ages 5-12) make origami hearts and facilitated discussions about what it means to ‘love yourself’. The origami hearts were featured in the “1,000 Hearts” Exhibition.
To create the “1,000 Hearts” exhibition, the team collected 1,000 hand-folded origami hearts from people all around the world. Participants wrote something they love about themselves and folded the paper into a heart. The hearts and messages were presented both visually and aurally. Messages from the project are being posted via Twitter every day for 1,000 days. They can be viewed on the Love Yourself Project’s Facebook page at: loveyourselfproject.net. We are now collecting 10,000 Hearts to exhibit in an upcoming show.
