Rivers of the World is the Festival's flagship art and education project. Delivered in partnership with the British Council's Connecting Classrooms and with support from HSBC Global Education Trust, the project links schools and over 2,000 young people around the world through common river themes.

In 2010, students from London, Kolkata (India), Szentendre (Hungary), Paris (France), Bangkok (Thailand), Washington DC (USA) and Istanbul (Turkey) worked with artists to create magnificent artworks inspired by the study of their, or their partner city's, river.

The artworks are on display along the banks of the River Thames and in the gallery@oxo as part of the Thames Festival and will also be enjoyed by millions of people in the coming months as they travel to riverside locations in each of the participating cities.
