Welcome to the second episode of Doorways to Sustainable Schools - a podcast aimed to support London schools to engage in London Climate Action Week 14th-22nd November 2020.
Anna's bio
The podcast features the wonderful Anna Portch. Anna is the manager of an amazing community garden in North London called Sunnyside Community Gardens. She has a huge depth and breadth of experience in sustainable schools ranging from creating and then running Empty Classroom Day (now Outdoor Classroom day), being the co-ordinator for Eco-Schools England to being the manager of London Environmental Educators Forum. Anna shares her thoughts on changes in the sustainable schools sector, discusses the benefits of small green spaces to London communities and offers simple but important practical suggestions for schools to engage in London Climate Action Week.
The show is hosted by Martin Crabbe, chair of the London Sustainable Schools Forum and a Geography teacher in London and takes place in Sunnyside.

2. Join Eco-Schools
3. Step outside the classroom into some green space even if it's small
4. Try to involve someone new into your project.
