I had the opportunity to meet Serdar Ferit during a recent trip to London where he shared more about his work as a former teacher, creator of documentaries, and how that all came together in his new company, Lyfta (www.lyfta.com). Lyfta is a subscription based digital platform where teachers and pupils can access immersive storyworlds and curriculum-based lesson and assembly plans.
I had the opportunity to experience Awra Amba in Ethiopia, which I asked Serdar about in this podcast. However, the most striking thing to me about this conversation were Serdar's comments at the end about "leaning into the surprises."
