The voice of Minerva is played by Leydis Vollar, Head of Modern Foreign Languages at Glebe School.

Leydis will also translate each episode of the story into Spanish for our friends in Peru.

The voice of Edmund and the narration are played by Martin Crabbe, Head of Geography at Glebe School.

Martin was inspired to write this story by the grandmother of Martin Allen Morales , by the Wild Area and by so many other things you will have to wait until his blog comes out next week on Semble (Wednesday 25th November)!

Background
This story has been created for London Climate Action Week during a global pandemic. It is inspired by zoom meetings and by a belief that despite everything there is much hope and magic.

The story launches a sustainable food project between two groups of young people: Year 7 students at Glebe School, an SEN school in the London Borough of Bromley and young people in a refuge on the outskirts of Lima, Peru.

How will this work
  • students in both places (initially Glebe, later Lima) will trial their school food project.
  • their feedback will be presented monthly by 'Minerva' and 'Edmund' in the form of a new episode of the magical orange doorway
  • at the same time, a blog will be written (hosted by Semble) discussing 'learnings' from experts in the field
  • the project will continue for 12 months and will report its findings to COP26
The project has two parallel journeys:
  • A school based case study based around sustainable food, language, culture, and place. It is part of a wider school project called Proyecto Peru.
  • A working group of experts that will advise, critique and support the schools based on their own expertise in education, sustainable food, language, culture, and place.

And if this magical story inspires you why not get involved from your own perspective?
And tell us how you get on.
