“We are one people forever woven together in a tapestry ”
Roy Barnes
Former Governor of Georgia
Ask :
- What do you think this means?
- What does it make you think of?
- What is a tapestry?
- How does the idea of tapestry connect to the programme?
Hassan’s Dad is reported as saying “We have the chance to make a beautiful tapestry”.
- What do you think is he talking about?
- Do you agree with him? Or is it an impossible dream?
- Is there anything we can do as individuals to contribute to the wider picture whilst maintaining our individuality?
Here is another quote that refers to tapestries that may also be a useful stimulus for discussion:
“We don’t accomplish anything in this world alone…and whatever happens is the result of the whole tapestry of one’s life and all the weavings of individual threads form one to another that creates something.”
Sandra Day O’ Connor
