Jonsered Manor & Department of literature, history of ideas and religion at the University of Gothenburg in collaboration with One by Walking

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.

Simon Poole Associate Professor of Cultural Education at the University of Chester, UK, and Guest professor at the University of Gothenburg 2024, Camilla Brudin Borg Senior Lecturer, Department of literature, history of  ideas, and religion at the University of Gothenburg, convener of One by Walking network, and Hanna Åberg researcher, the Horizon Europe project TRIGGER, at the University of Lund.

About One by Walking
One by Walking is a network for collaboration, discussion, and experimentation within the area of research methodologies concerned with walking and experimental scientific and art-based work related to walking methodologies. The members of this network come from across various fields of the performing arts, pedagogy, social science, and humanities, each with a documented interest in the connections between bodies, landscapes, perception, sustainability, movement, walking and methodological innovation. The network was founded in 2020  by support from Swedish Riksbanken’s Jubileumsfond and  NOS-HS (Nord Forsk). One by walking brings various disciplines together, we arrange workshops and do joint publications. The guiding principle behind the network is that interventions in artistic performance can collaborate with scientific researchers working on methodologies of movement. Our researchers are searching for new ways of working with sustainability, landscape management, art, and pedagogy.
