Gigajam is delighted to be
involved in its first significant international educational project in
partnership with
BOA

Managing Director Brian Greene is
working with Saranna Maureau (Project Manager) and Bert Hoek (BOA Director),
together with their team, in making Gigajam available to all schools in
Amsterdam across the high speed fibre optic broadband network built by
Dutch telecom giant
KPN. BOA are developing projects that
utilise the broadband infrastructure to ensure that schools receive high quality
teaching and learning resources to help transform learning in the 21st
century.
Gigajam have been working with lead deliverer
MSA, Muziekschool
Amsterdam West, who have been a client of Gigajam since 2006. The project
includes a number of local schools and we have provided a Dutch version of
Gigajam’s award winning Online Music School.

a fully funded project for all of Amsterdam’s schools in 2010 and are working
closely with

fill the gap in music?
