A teacher who is inspired can inspire students and other teachers!<\/p>\n

According to the blog<\/a>: This project began as an idea back in September 2008,the idea being to unite schools all around the world, in some way, potentially as a celebration of the London Olympics, 2012.\u00a0 The people involved asked themselves to think of an idea of uniting schools all over the World.\u00a0 The idea suggested was for all schools to do a collage of Peace, where children created their picture of what Peace meant to them, and to have it displayed at the Olympics.\u00a0 That idea was then turned into another idea of creating a Peace Quilt.\u00a0 They got in touch with the not-for-profit organization PEACE ONE DAY and Jeremy Gilley.\u00a0 POD have gladly made their Global Education Resource available free\u00a0to all schools.\u00a0 This\u00a0was perfect for them, as Peace is something they were very committed to, knowing that it is a wish all children have.\u00a0 This was the beginnings of this exciting project.<\/p>\n
