Walkshops

Take an active part in these walking-talking workshops that explore the past and future of Norwich from a planetary perspective. Use the evidence from the past to consider the interventions that will enable Norwich, our bioregion and our planet to be safe, just and healthy in future. Explore ideas of defence, enclosure, commons, sacredness, rebellion, deviance, flow and wildness, through prompted conversations in places such as Kett’s Heights, Cow Tower, the Marble Hall, the Cathedral, Fishergate, and many more. 

These first three walks are pilots for an ongoing offer. This pilot will: 

• Define three routes, props and scripts for 'walkshops' offered to community and educational groups, business teams and tourist groups. 

• Set up four annual dates for a growing community of enquiry to wander more freely, to have in-depth conversations or visit particular sites (such as Arminghall Woodhenge). 

In this first pilot, there will be three walks and you can book for any or all of them. These won't be walking lectures but highly conversational. You will be invited to contribute throughout and to give feedback afterwards. Places are free but if you are able to make a donation (e.g. £10) it will help pay for someone to document and evaluate the sessions, so that we can improve them. 

Please book for the first walkshop on 9th December here.  [Past - see the write-up of what happened]

For the second walkshop on 15th January here [Past event]

For the third walkshop on 1st February here [Past event]

Please dress for winter weather. They will only be cancelled if the weather looks dangerous. The walking routes will be urban and easy-going, at a mostly slow pace. 

"I'm very glad I to have been able to take part as it was an excellent event, a thought-provoking and imaginative way of using the local environment and historical perspectives to consider future directions." Teresa
