A Walk on the Wild Side
(Thursday 13 June 2013 - Tuesday 18 June 2013)
The five-day creative walk will begin from the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow on Thursday 13 June, along the West Highland Way, arriving in Fort William on Tuesday 18 June. Two young people from West Highland College will lead a group of lecturers, teachers, creative educators, all from diverse backgrounds and with varied interests in education. They will be joined on each day of the walk by ‘a creative catalyst’ who will bring a different viewpoint or challenge to the walk. The accommodation will be in hostels along the way.
The aim is purely to provide a unique time and space to explore the ideas that could improve the educational experience of young people. As philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche once said: ‘All truly great thoughts are conceived while walking’.
This event is now fully booked but you can keep up-to-date on the A Walk on the Wild Side blog.
