We want to develop a comprehensive Education Project which meets the learning needs of our target audiences, builds on the educational work currently undertaken at the Quaker Tapestry and makes the museum accessible to a broader range of users. We aim to maximise the educational potential and benefit of the Quaker Tapestry through exploring and developing ways of making all aspects of the Quaker Tapestry accessible to all age groups in the wider local community and involving these groups in the rich learning opportunities that the Quaker Tapestry can offer.
