The mystery of
Jurgen
Gladbach
Did yo
u know?
Although
not as dec
orative as
tapestries
now,
have been
around sin
the 12th Ce
ce
ntury – th
at’s over
900 years!
Mysterious parcels were sent to our schools around
the world… but what was inside and why were
they sent?
Jurgen Gladbach had a vision. He saw a Global Classroom
that went around the world connecting, collaborating and
communicating across schools. But Gladbach didn’t have
what we have... the internet and technology.
Your school’s challenge is to bring Jurgen’s dream to life,
with help from your student leaders!
Parcel one contained some material, a needle and some
thread.
The first task is to create a tapestry; you need to
capture your school’s identity and ethos in one image.
What makes your school great and how will you
capture everyone’s ideas in just one picture?
