Origami Peace Crane Project

A group gathered at McKelvie Road housing in Lamlash on Sunday afternoon with the aim of learning how to make origami peace cranes. Aided by tea and biscuits and the enthusiasm of lead crane maker Alison Page, the group met to contribute to a project being co-ordinated by the Edinburgh Peace and Justice Centre. The Peace and Justice Centre is encouraging communities to support the project by holding workshops in their local areas. They have a target of 140,000 folded paper cranes for the latter half of 2019, with a plan to create a huge exhibition to remember the people who died in the bombing of Hiroshima.
