Urban envrionmental collective walks

 

To explore Urban Waterwords, we developed collective walks with the youth in three cities. We drew on the methodolodgy of strollology (Burckhardt 1988) placing attentive walking at the centre as a practice that sharpens our senses, makes us aware of our waterworlds and allows us to grasp their diversity.

As we walked, we placed our feelings, emotions, and senses at the centre, guided by the Colombian sociologist Orlando Fals Bordas' (1978) notion of Sentipensante ('feeling-thinking'). 

 

 

 

 

 

Walking guide - 'Feeling-thinking your Urban Waterworlds'

We have produced a walking guide entitled 'Feeling-thinking your Urban Waterworlds' (Sentipensando tus cuerpos de agua) in English and Spanish, which takes us through the past, prensent and future temporalities of Urban Waterworlds. The guide is available and can be downloaded here as a pedagogical tool.
