You are curious about geography, urban environnement issues, and would love to run something but don&#x27;t know where to start... • You work in the educational field, with kids or adults, and you are enthusiast about popular education projects and fieldwork but easily get lost without a GPS. • You are an artist and you are interested in walking artist projects but you feel like missing tools and tricks • You are already involved in projects that have a link with urban walking (such as Jane&#x27;s walks), urban writing, urban sketching, urban agriculture... and want to learn about metropolitan trails because you feel it could bring you and your project a bit further,-----------Please register, and join us, for this first walking Conference, in the footsteps of Jordi Ballesta, geographer and researcher, author and coordinator of the Greater Athens Metropolitan Trails projects, and Boris Sieverts form Köln (Germany), famous for his metropolitan treks through Europe.We are going to present to you the outputs of the Metropolitan Trails Academy (charter, guide and MOOC) and Jordi and Boris are going to share with you some of their tricks, how they design their trails, how they deal with Google Earth and other tools, how they deal with the different scales involved in trail design, and how they mix sources (maps, photography). This walking conference will take place along the &quot;Attiko Monopati&quot; (Greater Athens Metropolitan Trail), which is under design (avant-premiere).
