At itdUPM, we organize regular walkshops, a way of moving traditional workshops into a natural, moving environment that encourages collective reflection.
Here we show how we organize these “walks” so that the methodology can be used by any organization, work group, etc., and thus contribute to generating inspiring experiences that help us accelerate transformations toward sustainability.
The walkshop can be defined as a traveling, outdoor work session that allows you to go beyond traditional formats and take advantage of the benefits of physical activity and contact with a natural environment.
The value of these two elements as a way to stimulate critical thinking has been documented from Ancient Greece through the Aristotelian school of the Peripatetics to the present day.
This approach allows the materiality of a landscape to be used as a tool to facilitate reflection and the ability to alter social dynamics, hierarchies, and patterns of thought through an outdoor experience. – Wickson, F., Strand, R., & Kjølberg, K.

Furthermore, the structure of the walkshop is intentionally more fluid and flexible than a standard workshop, and conversation is encouraged to flow organically beyond the established topic of interest. Emphasis is placed on the importance of spending time together as a group to get to know each other on deeper levels than standard business meetings facilitate.
