Walking, next to a creative process and an artistic form can be a base for pedagogy. A pedagogy that is lived, contextual, personal, creative, integral and embodied. Walking can develop pedagogical methods that may be applied to diverse groups.. The paradigms that are presented show the emancipatory potential of walking and its educational possibilities. Students are connected to the environment, with their colleagues, with the social environment that surrounds them. Walking stands for change and movement: walking pedagogy stands for shifting perspectives, challenges, and transformation.
The experience of walking as an educational method and the knowledge that derives as an outcome is empowering the individual in a very characteristic way.
Speakers are Anna Luyten (Belgium), Dioni Lampiri (Greece), Ellie Berry (IRE), Sotirios Chtouris and Anna Micheli (Greece), Natacha Moutinho and Miguel Bandeira Duarte (Portugal), moderated by Julie Poitras Santos (US).

We welcome back Bob Parks. Bob was one of the pioneers of performance art in England in the 1960s, and on the US West Coast in the 1970s, and eventually has seen his practice evolve into a mixture of performance and walking art, subscribing to the idea that Walking Art is Performance Art on wheels, with the capacity to bring in the whole world's population.

Into the Night: An Evening of Nocturnal Wanderings
A gathering on the night before the longest night. This is the nocturnal world, the place we walk illuminated by constellations of twinkling skies and powerful planets; the locale where our perambulations offer other ways of dwelling and sensing our being in the world and its myriad human and non-human presences. Join us as we stroll together, physically and conceptually, sharing our stories, experiences, feelings, senses and night-time reveries. An evening with the moon and Fay Stevens.
