Walking methods are gaining recognition in various educational contexts today. They sustain creativity and embodied cognition towards socio-ecological sustainability. How do these methods operate? Let’s step into nature, and with examples and hands-on experiences into the diverse applications of walking methods in pedagogy.
How can we recognize the centrality of landscape, both as a driver of change and as something affected by it? How do people move within a particular area because they are attracted to that very landscape, while at the same time reshaping it? We explore these and other questions on site. With example from walks through the paradoxes of nostalgia and rural gentrification at Gotland, and with specially designed activities in Bokedalen Nature Reserve to explore walking as a powerful pedagogical tool.
