Being connected to the sea, keeping fit using aerial hoops, working with Early Years settings and more!Annie was born in London and grew up in Kent, where she spent most of her childhood in the sea, the woods or her garden. As a kid Annie had a big map of the world on her wall and would pinpoint all the places that she wanted to visit - none of which she has managed to go to! Annie did end up living in five countries though and working in a range of jobs from free-diving fisherwoman to professional actress. She studied Geography and Middle Eastern studies as a joint degree between The School of Oriental and African Studies and Kings in London before moving to Berlin and came back to London to study a Master’s at UCL in climate change which lead her to the work she is doing now.Some links to things mentioned in the chat:-Climate Ambassadors (https://www.climateambassadors.org.uk) -Sister project: National Education Nature Park (https://www.educationnaturepark.org.uk/) -Sister project: Lets Go Zero (https://letsgozero.org/) -Sister project: Sustainability Support Education (https://www.sustainabilitysupportforeducation.org.uk/)  -Freediving in Egypt (https://alchemy.gr/post/819/freediving-in-the-heart-of-sinai) -Aerial hoop etc (https://upliftactive.com/blogs/aerial-fitness/aerial-fitness) -Calisthenics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calisthenics)  -British Red Cross supporting Grenfell fire victims (https://www.redcross.org.uk/about-us/news-and-media/media-centre/press-releases/press-release---british-red-cross-and-the-grenfell-tower-fire) -London Early Years Foundation Eco-Champions (https://www.leyf.org.uk/our-nurseries/quality/sustainability/)Expand your geography network and connect with Annie and the rest of the London Climate Ambassadors regional team at [email protected].
