Every walk you take holds a narrative waiting to be shared.
We want to hear about your unique experiences – those moments of reflection, inspiration, or even the unexpected encounters along your path. Whether it’s a quiet stroll through a park, a bustling city exploration, or a trek in the wilderness, your thoughts and stories are invaluable.
Walking Stories is a research project that aims to better understand the ways in which individuals simultaneously develop and shape personal narratives during the course of their walks. But more than that – we want to explore the myriad of creative ways that your stories can be captured, recorded and documented.
So, we need your stories – and your creativity! Submit your walks and share your story in any format that speaks to you – be it a poem, a short written narrative, drawings, photography, audio, video, or even a sculpture.
By contributing, you’ll be part of a tapestry of voices that celebrate the beauty of walking and storytelling. Help to build a collection of shared journeys that inspire and connect us.
Walking Stories is a doctoral research project and has received ethical approval via Leeds Beckett University’s Research Ethics process.
