AN EPIC HYBRID 24 HOUR RELAY OF FREE FACILITATED WALKSHOPS (WALKING WORKSHOPS) ON CITY STREETS ACROSS THE GLOBE – BRINGING COMMUNITIES TOGETHER BY HELPING PEOPLE RE-THINK THEIR FUTURE.
LET’S FIND OUR WAY. TOGETHER.
There are some big hairy challenges out there, huh? The climate crisis. Global conflict. Polarisation and loneliness. Not to mention personal ones - finding a job, mental health, relationships, healing a grief.
We’re all wondering how to do things differently. What if the inspiration we need is all around us, all the time? That's why non- profit Street Wisdom created an annual celebration of their work - The World Wide Wander together with the support of our partners at the global creative community Creative Mornings and Action for Happiness, an international charity dedicated to creating a happier and kinder world.
We're not going to resolve our questions just sitting and thinking. Let’s get up, get out and get answers.
STOP PRESS! THE MOMENTS OF INSIGHT AWARD - WWW launches a new award this year to celebrate the most insightful moments participants discover during their Walkshops. 3 x prizes of £250 cash and £250 clothing vouchers from our partners and friends at Folk are up for grabs!
WHEN? Friday 27th September 2024 0800-2000, in-person or online.
WHERE? 4 online Walkshops hosted by the Street Wisdom team. 60 volunteer facilitated in-person Walkshops at locations across the globe. Locations include Philadelphia, New York, Seoul, Montreal, Nairobi, Toronto, London, Lima, Berlin, Sydney, Athens, Glasgow, Stockholm, Barcelona, Austin, Goa, Walla Walla….
WHAT IS A WALKSHOP? A Walkshop is a guided walking workshop that helps you find your way through life’s twist and turns, led by a Street Wisdom facilitator who coaches you through the wonder-sparking practice. You can use your phone out on the street (camera facing outwards if you can) or inside your home if outside isn’t feasible.
A Walkshop has three parts:
TUNE-UP. A series of short exercises that are designed to “tune-up” your senses so you can tune in to the world around you.
QUEST. Here you choose a question you would like some fresh thinking on and then set off in search of insights, ideas and answers, looking for signs and signals from the streets or space you explore.
SHARE. Everyone gathers back together again and shares insights or listens to others. This is an important part of the process – as one person’s story can resonate with others, providing a sense of togetherness and broadening perspective.
