Why

• Carbon footprints are 'zero'
• The most invigorating way of connecting with a locations' physical and community landscapes
• A cheaper and more enjoyable method of keeping physically and mentally fit than going to the gym
• The best social engagement technology
• Participants develop intimate relationships with their walks landscapes, they create new skills in observing and recording.

What

• We initiate and implement 'Walking to Zero' workshops.
• The workshops focus on enhancing the participants' visual, audio and tactile receptiveness to better connect to the landscapes of their walks.
• The walkers' engagement with and knowledge of their walk's physical and community landscapes transforms the walker's experience from the mundane and tedious to the invigorating and memorable.
• Our programmes are focussed on persuading those who choose not to walk that walking is far more engaging and enjoyable than any other form of mobility.

How

• The Walking to Zero workshops use techniques that train the participants 'seeing and hearing' to more clearly focus on the landscapes they walk through.
• Project participants are trained to create narratives that describe their 'seeing of an aspect of the walks landscapes' through utilising a variety of observational methodologies, such as learning to photograph, sketch, and to write, using poetry and prose.

Outcomes

• 'Walking to Zero'  exhibitions display the 'seeing' of the participants to public and invited audiences.
• The exhibitions are designed to be portable and previous venues have included fine art and photographic galleries as well as public spaces and educational institutions.
• Not only do the participants develop intimate relationships with their walks landscapes, they create new skills in observing and recording.
