Hello,


So this event isn't based in ED, but we are!

Foyles bookshop have asked us (WordPlay: Audio, Podcast & Radio Projects for Children) http://wordplayeducation.co.uk/ to create a second podcast series this year based on their summer Literary Festival for children & young adults - The Story Box Festival.


We created three podcast episodes last year with lots of friendly and confident children from East Dulwich last year and this year we are looking for more children to host the podcast! Here are the three previous episodes: http://www.wordplayeducation.co.uk/foyles-the-storybox-podcast/


We are looking for four children aged 9-16 to help us out to host the podcast - there will be several fantastic events throughout the summer reading festival and we would like our young hosts, presenters and reporters to interview authors, have discussions based on the events, read the script (and make any changes) for the podcast and present the festival news! Confident and fluent readers is a must!


If you would like your child/ren to take part, please do email us on [email protected] or send me a PM on here.


We have provisionally booked in dates for the podcast recording to take place on the shop floor of Foyles Charing Cross Road Branch - 2 children per date would be awesome:

Saturday 29th July 4.30pm - ages 9+


OR


Saturday 12th August 10am - ideally the two children recording on this date are aged 12+ as the events covered will be with Young Adult Authors.


The recording can take up to 2 hours.


If your child would like to be involved but unable to make these dates, send us an email and once the programme of events is confirmed we can let you know which events we will be attending with our microphones and perhaps they would like to interview the author/illustrator etc - please note that most events are charged).


We're looking forward to hearing from you!

      Do you feel unsafe in London?

      By Eats Dulwich · Posted

      I sometimes don't feel as comfortable as I did but it's not because I'm older, it's because I'm sober. Staggering home when I was younger I always felt I like a had a cloak of invisibility around me. And a magic compass - not even sure how I found my way home some nights.

      Do you feel unsafe in London?

      By NewWave · Posted

      I'm London born and bred and have always considered myself streetwise having grown up in Notting hill (pre getrification) and I lived on the border of Harlesden (kensal green) in the 90's  when it was pretty sketchy round there .and I spent much of the 80's and early 90's in downtown New York.. I would walk everywhere at all hours of the day and night and never felt particularly uneasy largely because I was always mindful of my surroundings and walked with 'purpose'. I don't know wether its because I'm now so much older but I don't feel as comfortable as I used to walking round London. Today I was in the West end and I made sure to carry my bag on the opposite arm to that facing the kerb and felt uneasy when I saw people wizzing around on limebikes or scooters close to the kerb..I never got my phone out at all...I never used to feel like this but just recently I've had friends witness phone and bag snatching in central london in broad daylight..apparently it happened so fast in both instances there was nothing anyone could do to help..One phone snatching was during the tube strike 7.30am two guys on bikes grabbed a mans phone..My friend took the victim to a nearby hotel to sit down and recover the hotel said due to the tube strike they had witnessed many duo's of youth out very early on bikes aware that there were more pedestrians around at that time with their phones out trying for Ubers or looking at directions. I would'nt say I feel 'unsafe' I just feel more aware of being a possible target for crime than formerly. I don't know if this is due to being older or due to reading the press.

      The fact everyone has had a CCTV camera in their pockets for the last 15+ years has done a huge amount to prevent and mitigate random drunken violence.  Thugs can't get away with what they used to anymore.
