Blue Sky Ideas for Walking

Networking events for people promoting walking

Format of a Talk the Walk event is fairly straightforward. 

• Meet up
• Mix and Mingle
• Listen to a 3-5 minute presentation - up to 16 at any event - (let us know if you have something you want to talk about).
• Ask questions - Share ideas - Create an action plan 

We are in discussions with the Commission of Architecture and the Built Environment to hold a Talk the Walk on the theme of "Retrofitting for walking" and with the London Borough of Bromley on "Greening vacant land".  We are working with the Government Office for London to host a series of Talk the Walk events on "Workplace Health and Well-being". Very shortly we will have dates and venues fixed up.  We are always open to partnerships offering venues, so please do get in touch if you would like us to run a Talk the Walk - simply email us. 

For each event we create a new wiki page to which you can add information, recommendations and suggestions:
