NEW SCHOOLS' COMPETITION FOR 2016!
Design Your Own Panel !
In 2016-17 the Scottish Diaspora
Tapestry team is offering Scottish schools an exciting opportunity to get
involved, in partnership with EducationScotland.
We are inviting schools across
the country to take part in a nationwide competition: all you have to do is
plan, design and stitch your own diaspora story!
The finished panels will then be
exhibited beside the Scottish Diaspora Tapestry itself, when it returns to
Scotland from its world tour in 2017.
This exciting competition is open
to both primary and secondary schools, and is designed to help pupils explore
their community’s global links as well as their own creativity.
The project
also offers a wealth of interdisciplinary learning experiences, with lots of
potential outcomes relevant to the current curriculum.
Not only that, but all
participating schools will be able to keep their tapestry panels after the end
of their celebratory exhibition in Edinburgh – a permanent testament to their
achievement.
The Scottish Diaspora Tapestry
Schools Competition will run from September 2016 until Easter 2017.
