The Climate Walk is a combined research, education and media-art project by the Wanderers of Changing Worlds. It is about walking across Europe to understand regional experiences of Climate Change. It is about listening to local perspectives, learning from them and connecting these stories together to construct a holistic, people-centric understanding of these complex phenomena.
The project consists of 5 interconnected dimensions:
Starting in June 2022, we are walking through 17 European countries, exploring human perceptions, experiences and practices in dealing with Climate Change, and promote cooperation between individuals, local communities, and national and international organizations.
The alternating team is split in two, one started from the North Cape on the 5th of June 2022, the second one began their journey in Cabo da Roca on September 1st 2022. The idea is to unite in Vienna in April 2023. This approach allows comparing the developments in Northern and Southern Europe with regards to fighting the pending Climate Crisis and offers the potential of reaching different audiences by simultaneously reporting from Team North and South.
In the course of this project everyone is invited to join us on a part of this journey. In addition, there will be workshops along the path, through which we will try to bring as many local and global actors as possible to a common table. Parallel to this, we will use various social media channels and blog, audio and visual contributions to make the insights gained from visiting various European places and landscapes available to a wider public.
Find below the tour details on komoot for the initial weeks of both Team North and Team South. We will regularly add the missing weeks. Although we try to not change the stages anymore, be aware that there can still be slight adaptations. We are happy about any recommendation or invitation along the way.
The walk is organised in weekly stages, with 6 days of walking and 1 fixed break day, allowing us more flexibility and spontaneously for connecting with people on the way. We will open the application forms for interested Co-Walkers to join us soon. In the meantime please check out the following link for further details about the stages:
