Recording of a WALC Cafe hosted by Mary Marinopoulou of Action Synergy.
Through our new WALCAfé series, WALC invites you to explore how Walking Arts plays a vital role in well-being, both individually and collectively, physically and mentally.
Our first conversation will focus on Walking Arts and Mental Health. We are delighted to have with us four speakers who bring diverse insights from research, therapeutic practice, community engagement, and public health perspective: Leon Clowes (UK), Tricia Enns (Canada), Alexandra Rodriguez (USA), and Alba Sauleda (Spain).
Walking Arts & Local Communities (WALC) is an artistic cooperation project, co-funded by the European Union, Creative Europe, starting in January 2024 for four years. With seven partners from five countries, WALC establishes an International Center for Artistic Research and Practice of Walking Arts, in Prespa, Greece, at the border with Albania and North Macedonia, backed up by an online counterpart in the format of a digital platform for walking arts.
WALC builds on the previous work of hundreds of artists and researchers already practicing Walking Arts as a collaborative medium, and having met at the significant previous walking arts events and encounters in Greece, Portugal, Spain, France, Belgium, and during online activities at walk · listen · create.
We acknowledge the support of the EU Creative Europe Cooperation grant program in the framework of the European project WALC (Walking Arts and Local Community).
