A sparkling effort has seen staff and students across Griffith University’s five campuses make a significant contribution to a Embracing 2018 Legacy program aimed at stopping violence.
The ‘1 Million Stars to End Violence Project’ is an international star weaving collaboration which has brought people together across the countries and territories of the Commonwealth during the past year.
Their shared goal has been the creation of one million stars to be presented for display as part of the arts and cultural program at the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games.
Griffith University comfortably exceeded its initial 10,000 target and submitted more than 12,000 of the colourful stars.
This included a shining last-minute consignment from Kuraby State School, created in the school colours by 4 A/B students, which arrived at Griffith’s Logan campus with the message ‘You can’t use darkness to stop darkness but you can use light to stop violence. Bring light not darkness’.
