Help Break a Guinness World Record AND Rewrite Ireland’s Story on Mental Health

 
 
See Change, an organisation dedicated to reducing the stigma surrounding mental health, are attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the most people to write a story, and they need YOUR help!
 
The big idea
 
The goal is to break the current Guinness World Record for the most people to write a story.
 
The aim is to receive 900 contributions to our story from participants on the Trinity campus in a 12 hour time period in order to beat the current record which stands at 838 participants, and was achieved in Vanuatu in November 2009.
 
See Change has partnered up with Trinity College Dublin Students’ Union, Union of Students in Ireland, and Fighting Words on this Guinness World Record attempt to successfully open up a conversation about mental health with the 18-24 year old age group.   

Breaking the Guinness World Record is a big, bold, and disruptive way to communicate the fact that mental health is an important part of everyone’s story, and like every story, it can have its ups and downs, twists and turns. See Change want to send a message loud and clear that mental health problems affect all of us in some way, directly or indirectly, and that we need to rewrite Ireland’s story on mental health.  

 

Date, time, location

See Change’s Guinness World Record attempt will take place in the Physics Garden on campus in Trinity College Dublin (TCD) over the course of 12 hours on Wednesday, 26 October 2011, from 8am to 8pm until the goal of 900 contributions is reached.  

Please join See Change for this exciting event! Everyone is welcome!  

Just think, you could soon be a Guinness World Record Breaker / Published Author / Co-author with some of Ireland's great contemporary writers / See Change Champion.
