Home-schooling: Round 2
“I’ve had so many Zoom meetings already” What do 5-year-olds make of home-schooling? The start of 2021 saw most kids across the UK in front of their screens again for a third winter lockdown and second round of school closures. For many, including my own family - it was more organised during the third lockdown with schools having more time to plan better remote learning. This is a video I made on our experience for BBC Asian Network digital channels.
Lockdown Diwali & Virtual Navaratri, BBC Asian Network & World Service
The typically abundant festivals of Diwali and Navaratri were celebrated in lockdown by British Hindus in 2020. For a BBC Asian Network digital video on virtual Navaratri I visited a family who joined a much-loved Garba folk dance celebration from their living room via Zoom. A month later during Diwali in lockdown, I met other young British Hindus who were determined that it was still worth dressing up for staying in, here is ‘Lockdown Diwali’ also for BBC Asian Network.
