About

With the +Wool project, we want to promote and stimulate the collective appreciation of the wool heritage, an integral heritage, which is natural and industrial, tangible and intangible.  Through educational programmes, we intend to mobilise students and teachers in actions focused on the natural fibre of wool and the transformation processes associated with it. We believe that the mission of preservation, conservation and dissemination of heritage is fulfilled with the involvement of communities and, as far as + Wool is concerned, the synergies built in partnership with schools and teachers at various educational levels.
