Join a Global Walking Arts Community
Walk, create and learn with artists, researchers and cultural practitioners from more than 65 countries. The Walking Arts & Local Communities (WALC) learning programme is more than an online course and workshop. It is your gateway into an international community of practice exploring walking as artistic research, ecological engagement and collective imagination. Beginning this September, in a cycle of workshops you'll learn from leading practitioners, collaborate across Europe and beyond, develop a collaborative project, learn to work with mapping and locative media, and contribute to a growing Living Archive of Walking Arts.
Embark on a transformative journey with our Walking Arts & Local Communities online workshops cycle. Designed for artists, creators, educators, cultural workers and innovators, these workshops cycle invite you to explore walking as an artistic practice, a community tool, and an ecological medium rooted in place, movement, and shared experience.This is not about learning about walking. It’s about walking as learning.

What you will explore
Walking as research & practice Learn how sound-walks, mapping, storytelling and embodied movement can be used as research tools — to question, re-imagine and transform our relationships with landscape and community.
Local to global perspectives Ground your work in place-based knowledge and community values, while engaging with trans-European and global dialogues on walking arts, ecology and future-making.
Participation, creation & commons Work within co-creative formats, share your practice with others, and contribute to a growing living archive of walking arts and commons-based approaches.
Digital & physical convergence Expand walking arts into digital, hybrid and site-specific formats through online platforms, collaborative tools and locative media experiments.
Mapping, Storytelling & Place-based Knowledge
Learn how participatory mapping, embodied storytelling and locative media transform walking into a tool for uncovering local knowledge, layered histories and shared imaginaries. Through analogue and digital methods, you’ll turn walking traces into collective narratives.
Hybrid Walking Practices
Explore how walking extends into digital space. Experiment with hybrid formats — mobile explorations, online platforms and collaborative mapping — and reflect on walking arts as open, shared digital resources.
Creative Methodologies & Future-Making
Move from documentation to intervention. Work with sensory walking, speculative practices, collective narratives and site-specific actions to imagine ecological and communal futures.
From Local to Global — Nodes and Networks
Discover how local walking initiatives become nodes in a global constellation. Engage with case studies, platforms and shared infrastructures, and begin shaping your own walking-arts project within the wider network.
Project Lab & Living Archive
You will bring everything together in a hands-on project. You will: * Map a walk * Capture multisensory material * Transform walks in stories * Contribute to the network’s living archive of walking arts
Using the platform, you’ll publish your work, exchange feedback with peers, and situate your project within a broader ecology of practices. You will learn how to document process as much as outcome — through text, sound, image, mapping and gesture — and how to translate a situated experience into a shared resource. The workshops culminate in a collective showcase, where participants share projects, reflect together, and weave their contributions into the expanding global walking arts constellation. Your walk becomes part of something larger.
