Hello,


We are based in East dulwich and looking for young voices to host a podcast this summer for Foyles bookshop.


Foyles have asked us (WordPlay: Audio, Podcast & Radio Projects for Children) http://www.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 are 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 13+ as the events covered will be with Young Adult Authors.


The recording can take up to 2 hours (or longer depending on content we record)!


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!

      Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/

      Old bottle shop on Whateley Road?

      Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.

      Does anyone remember an incident from the late 90s/early 00s in which a young man fell to death from Dawsons Heights?

      By taliax7 · Posted

      Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.

      Noisy parties on Crystal Palace road (around number 41)

      By Jbrownsydenham · Posted

      Was anyone else disturbed last night/early hours this morning by the party going on in someone’s garden on Crystal Palace road. Can’t see what house exactly but it’s around number 43 - 41… it was happening quite frequently last year. Seems it’s starting again! Very inconsiderate.
