GOLDEN TAPESTRY

The Golden Tapestry was a project for primary and special schools across the Commonwealth. Hundreds of thousands of children contributed their own ideas and portrayed their own lives and experiences in a unique collaborative artwork that has been exhibited around the world. But the Golden Tapestry was far more than that. Within the project, schools worked together with schools in other countries. Some we introduced to each other for the first time, others used the project to strengthen their existing links. Our aim was that all these links would endure beyond the project, providing a valuable legacy on which schools and their communities could build. Through working on the Golden Tapestry children have learnt to see their lives in a global perspective, to take pride in their own communities and culture and to understand and respect others'... We are delighted that jBASE International - a top British software company - continues to support the Golden Tapestry.
