East London Waterworks Park
Educators and facilitators wanted to help East London Waterworks Park deliver its environmental learning goals
East London Waterworks Park is a charity that has raised £2m towards buying land from the Department for Education to transform the 14-acre Thames Water Depot on Lea Bridge Road on the border of Waltham Forest and Hackney, into a new biodiverse park with natural swimming ponds, forest schools and community spaces. We are looking for educator and facilitator volunteers to participate in our community-led working group, who are collaborating with schools, universities and youth groups that help the design of the park. Examples of projects are: collaborating on nature walk activities for schools, supporting university students interviewing teachers, and creating lesson plans to co-design the park. Schools, universities and youth groups we've collaborated with include Buxton School, Kingsmead School, UCL, Royal College of Art, University of Westminster, Project Zero, Voyage Youth, Loyola University Chicago, and Vanderbilt University Nashville. We're looking for people to lead on these projects and facilitate the direction of the learning working group. The Learning Circle currently meets monthly on a Wednesday evening at 8pm for an hour on Google Meet and spends voluntary time outside of the meeting completing agreed tasks remotely.
