Cartea Recordurilor a considerat ca miile de metri patrati desenati cu creta de copii nu indeplinesc standardele pentru certificarea unui record

Guinness Book considered that the thousands of squares of pavement drawn by kids from Cluj didn’t meet the standards of a World Record

De 1 Iunie 2008, Primaria Municipiului Cluj-Napoca si Fundatia Romana pentru Copii, Comunitate si Familie au organizat pentru toti copiii din Cluj evenimentul JOOnior Zambet, care si-a propus intrarea in Guinness Book cu cel mai mare desen pe asfalt din lume. Desi desenul a depasit considerabil ca suprafata precedentul record, Guinness Book a decis ca nu poate fi certificat.

Comparand calitatea desenului dumneavoastra cu cea a desenului care detine acum recordul Guinness, desi realizarea dumneavoastra este impresionanta, avem impresia ca desenul dumneavoastra nu este la acelasi standard cu recordul prezent si cu cel precedent. Pentru corectitudinea demersului, nu putem accepta desenul dumneavoastra ca un record Guinness. (Kristian Teufel, Records Management Team)

Evenimentul care a marcat Ziua internationala a copilului a reunit pe viitoarea sosea de centura a orasului peste 1.500 de copii si 150 de voluntari. Elevii de la Liceul de Arte „Romulus Ladea” au realizat conceptul desenului, care a luat forma unui tren cu locomotiva si 62 de vagoane. Tema desenului a fost Zambet de Copil.

JOOnior Zambet a fost un eveniment de strangere de fonduri.

Din totalul de aproximativ 28.000 lei stransi pentru eveniment, 21.000 lei vor fi folositi in aceasta toamna de catre FRCCF pentru a ajuta copiii din familii defavorizate sa nu abandoneze scoala.

Suportul sponsorilor si al partenerilor media ai evenimentului a fost folosit atat pentru organizarea evenimentului, cat si pentru sprijinirea copiilor provenind din familii cu venituri foarte mici din Cluj. Fundatia Vodafone, Emerson si Unimet CUG au dorit sa sustina aceasta cauza prin sponsorizarea in bani a JOOnior Zambet, iar Logo Design, Rosal Grup si RATUC au sprijinit logistic evenimentul.

On June 1st 2008, Cluj-Napoca City Hall and the Romanian Foundation for Children, Community and Family organized JOOnior Smile for all the kids from Cluj. One of the goals of the event was to establish a new world record for the biggest chalk drawing. Even if the drawing was bigger than the one which is already in Guinness Book, the Guinness Book representatives decided that our drawing cannot be certified.

„Having compared the quality of your painting with that of the current record chalk painting and although yours an impressive acheivement, we feel that your drawing is not to the same standard which the current and previous record holders have displayed. In the interest of fairness we are therefore unable to accept your painting as a Guinness World Record”. (Kristian Teufel, Records Management Team)

The event, which celebrated the International Children’s Day, brought together more than 1,500 children and 150 volunteers on the newest beltway of the town. The students of “Romul Ladea” Arts High School created the drawing concept which took the shape of a train with 62 cars. The subject of the drawing was Child Smile.

JOOnior Smile was a fundraising event
From the 28,000 lei (~7,900 EUR) raised for this event, this automn FRCCF will use 21,000 lei (~6,000 EUR)to support the kids from low income families from Cluj not to drop out school.

The support provided by the event sponsors and media partners was used to organise the event as well as to support the children from low income families in Cluj. Vodafone Fundation, Emerson and Unimet CUG wished to support this cause by giving money to JOOnior Smile, meanwhile Logo Design, Rosal Grup and RATUC offered logistic support.

JOOnior Zambet are tot sprijinul Primariei Cluj-Napoca! / JOOnior Smile Has Full Support of Cluj-Napoca Mayor’s Office!

Primaria Municipiului Cluj-Napoca a ales ca si de aceasta data sa se implice in realizarea celui mai important eveniment de 1 iunie din oras, dupa ce in anii trecuti a sprijinit JOOnior Park - evenimentul traditional al FRCCF, organizat de Ziua Copilului.

"Suntem la al treilea mare eveniment de 1 iunie organizat impreuna cu FRCCF, iar JOOnior Zambet este cel mai mare proiect comun. Ideea ne-a venit inca de anul trecut cand lucram la JOOnior Park si pregateam diverse activitati, ca desenele pe asfalt. Ne bucuram enorm de mult ca putem pune in practica ideea de atunci si punem la dispozitie toata logistica necesara si ne asiguram ca FRCCF are acces la aceasta, pentru ca impreuna sa ducem copiii clujeni in Cartea Recordurilor, chiar de ziua lor! Ii asteptam pe toti, duminica, 1 iunie, pe soseaua de centura, in prelungirea Bulevardului Muncii, sa facem impreuna cel mai mare desen pe asfalt din lume!" (Darius Pintilie, Inspector de Specialitate, Primaria Municipiului Cluj-Napoca)

Multumim!

Cluj-Napoca Mayor’s Office has decided to get involved once again in organizing the most important June 1^st event in town, after in the past years it supported JOOnior Park – the traditional FRCCF event held on Children’s Day.

"This is the third June 1^st big event that we organize with FRCCF, and JOOnior Smile is our most significant joint project. The idea came to us for the first time last year when we were working on JOOnior Park and planning various activities for children, such as pavement drawing. We are extremely happy that we can now put that idea into practice and we will provide all the needed logistics to be accessed by FRCCF for the event in our attempt to make the children from Cluj enter the Guinness Book of Records right on their celebration day! We will be waiting for all of them on Sunday, June 1^st, on the beltway located at the end of Muncii Blvd., to help us make the biggest pavement drawing in the world!" (Darius Pintilie, Special Inspector, Cluj-Napoca Mayor’s Office)

Desene pe asfalt pentru Cartea Recordurilor! / Pavement Drawing for Guinness World Records!

JOOnior Zambet - 1 iunie 2008 / JOOnior Smile - June 1st

Copiii clujeni vor ajunge in Cartea Recordurilor! Fundatia Romana pentru Copii, Comunitate si Familie impreuna cu Primaria Muncipiului Cluj-Napoca organizeaza pentru ei, de 1 iunie, JOOnior Zambet. Aici copiii vor putea ajuta la realizarea celui mai mare desen pe asfalt de pe glob!

JOOnior Zambet isi propune stabilirea unui nou record mondial la desene pe asfalt si inscrierea acestuia in Cartea Recordurilor . "In prezent, recordul mondial este detinut de un desen care a acoperit 5.612 mp de asfalt. De 1 iunie, ne propunem sa acoperim cel putin 7.000 de mp de asfalt cu ajutorul a aproximativ 3 . 000 de copii din Cluj" (Camelia Mates, Director Imagine, FRCCF).

Elevii de la Liceul de Arte "Romul Ladea" se vor ocupa de conceptul desenului ce trebuie sa fie unitar, de realizarea contururilor si de coordonarea copiilor. Tema desenului este Zambet de Copil (grupul de tineri artisti va crea un desen care sa vorbeasca despre ceea ce ii face pe cei mici sa zambeasca, despre ceea ce ii face sa fie fericiti). Desenul va fi realizat pe noua sosea de centura a orasului.

Pe parcursul intregii zile de 1 iunie, martorii vor asista la crearea desenului urias , iar un topometrist autorizat va masura suprafata desenata. Aceste persoane vor da declaratii pentru Cartea Recordurilor, care vor fi trimise impreuna cu documentatia amanuntita la Londra, unde va fi certificat recordul.

Inspectoratul scolar Judetean Cluj va ajuta la popularizarea evenimentului in scolile din oras, pentru a implica toti copiii care vor sa participe la realizarea acestui desen urias si care vor sa sprijine la randul lor alti copii care au nevoie sa le fim alaturi.

JOOnior Zambet este un eveniment de strangere de fonduri .

Suportul sponsorilor si al partenerilor media ai evenimentului este folosit atat pentru organizarea evenimentului, cat si pentru sprijinirea copiilor provenind din familii cu venituri foarte mici din Cluj, Oradea si Satu Mare. Fondurile stranse vor fi folosite pentru ca acei copii care frecventeaza centrele comunitare FRCCF sa creasca intr-un mediu familial protector, sa beneficieze de educatie si de serviciile medicale de care au nevoie.

The children from Cluj will enter the Guinness Book of Records! On June 1^st, the Romanian Foundation for Children, Community and Family and Cluj-Napoca Mayor’s Office will organise JOOnior Smile for them. Each child will bring his/her contribution to the biggest pavement drawing in the world!

JOOnior Smile aims at setting a new world pavement drawing record and writing it in the Guinness Book of Records. “Currently, the world pavement drawing record is of 5,612 sqm. On June 1^st, we are planning to draw up at least 7,000 sqm of pavement with the help of approximately 3,000 children from Cluj” (Camelia Mates, Fundraising and PR Manager, FRCCF).

The students of Romul Ladea Arts High School and those from the Academy of Visual Arts will be in charge of coming up with a concept for the drawing – which has to be homogenous –, of marking the drawing outlines and coordinating the children. The subject of the drawing is Child Smile (the group of young artists will make a drawing that can illustrate what makes children smile and happy). The drawing will be made on the newest beltway of the town.

Throughout the whole June 1^st day, there will be witnesses to the making of this giant drawing, and a licensed topometry expert will measure the drawn up surface. These people will give statements to Guinness World Records, which will be sent with detailed documentation to London for record authentication.

Cluj County School Inspectorate advertises the event in all the schools from town in order to involve all the children who want to make this giant drawing and to support children in need.

JOOnior Smile is a fundraising event.

The support provided by the event sponsors and media partners will be used to organise the event as well as to support the children from low income families in Cluj, Oradea and Satu Mare. The funds raised will go to the children attending the FRCCF community centres to provide a safe family environment to all of them and the education and healthcare they need.
