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!

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.
