Globe rolls to Mulberry School for Girls

Globe was rolled past Whitechapel Market and along Commercial Road before arriving at its destination: Mulberry school for Girls.

Mulberry is a Specialist Arts comprehensive school in Tower Hamlets with an extensive programme of extra-curricular opportunities around Women’s Education and Global Education. Nearly all students are of Bangladeshi heritage with a very small minority from other backgrounds, including White British, Pakistani and African.

On Monday 11th July we held a workshop with twenty-four Year 10 students from the school. Using a GPS tracker students rolled Globe around the school grounds to spell out the word ‘Globe’. The workshop also delivered an activity where participants redefined the boundaries of belonging and created their own global worlds that illustrated their concepts of home on a local and global scale. The students posed questions to Globe such as ‘but do we ever have a home?’ and ‘who decides where home is?’
