A Day in the Life of the University of Pretoria. 21 September 2011

Posted on June 06, 2023

On this "Day in the life of the University of Pretoria" UP’s Science Centre, Sci-Enza, celebrated International Day of Peace by folding 1000 origami birds.

According to Japanese legend, a person receives one wish when they fold 1000 paper cranes. UP students and staff, as well as learners who visited the centre, helped to fold and hang the origami art from the Sci-Enza ceiling on this day.
