SENBAZURU is the art of folding 1,000 paper cranes. It is said that if you fold 1,000 paper cranes and make a wish, it will come true.
The ATDC is calling on members of the Tasmanian community to help fold 1,000 Japanese cranes and to share stories to remember Tasmanians lost to overdose and wish for a community free from the harm of overdose.
Drug overdose continues to impact Tasmanians of all backgrounds – with more than one person lost every week to overdose across Tasmania.

Need Paper? The ATDC can provide you with paper to build one (or 100!) cranes – contact Katie (her details are below)
Where do I deliver my cranes? Deliver to the ATDC at Suite 1, Level 1/175 Collins St
Can my cranes be collected? Contact Katie on 6231 5002 or via email at katie@atdc.org.au
Where can I see the finished cranes? The ATDC will launch the display of cranes 10am Friday 30 August at the Waterside Pavilion in Hobart. The cranes will then travel across Tassie to be displayed, beginning with ATDC’s AGM in September. If your organisation is interested in hosting the cranes, please get in touch
How much time do I have? All cranes will need to be delivered by 5pm on Friday, 23 August 2019.
