WALKTALK is an ambitious and challenging initiative offering a wide variety of people of all ages new opportunities to meet, walk and talk with each other about matters of belief and conscience, especially those that are most challenging and divisive. Starting 19 July 2008 from Millenium Square Leeds, and finishing in Central London a month later, a core key team of WALKTALKERS including Gill Hicks, Joe Kerr, Zulfi Hussain and Together For Peace aim to cover about 10 miles each day, spanning one month in total. There will be official points at each location along the route for people to come and join WALKTALK whether for an hour or two or more as the team walk through. Working in close collaboration with many of these towns and cities along the route. WALKTALK will focus attention on projects which are already fostering local community cohesion. It is hoped that the dialogue will continue in each of the communities where WALKTALK stops overnight, so creating a chain of human connections between Leeds and London. www.walktalk.org.uk
