What are the modules about?
Module 1 – Walking as Artistic and Social Practice
Foundations
Walking as an artistic gesture, research method, and everyday social practice, grounded in historical and contemporary walking art.
Module 2 – Walking as Shared World-Making
Collective & relational practices
Walking as a way of moving together: community-based practices, collective memory, participation, and shared authorship.
Module 3 – Walking as Critical Spatial Practice
Power, politics, and place
Walking as critique: gender, borders, migration, inequality, mapping and counter-mapping, and contested spaces.
Module 4 – Walking in the Digital Age (mandatory for workshops)
Technology, commons & networked practice
Locative media, sound walks, collaborative mapping, and digital commons — extending walking into hybrid and online space.

Workshops: Project Lab & Living Archive
For those who want to make and develop work, the workshops focus on:
• developing an individual or collective walking-based project
• working with sound, mapping, storytelling, digital and locative tools
• contributing to a shared Living Archive
• preparing work for a collective showcase
Ideal if you want to experiment, produce, and share walking-based practices

An international learning environment
Speakers connect practices, perspectives, and places across:
Belgium · Greece · Portugal · Italy · France · Germany · Sweden · The Netherlands · United Kingdom · Australia · Brazil
Walking is approached as both deeply place-based and trans-local, grounded in specific landscapes while connected through international exchange
