Walk this way: TU Dublin to host international walking conference, calls for submissions

This year’s international Walk21 conference is to be held in Dublin by the Technological University Dublin, in partnership with the Government, on September 19-23.

The organisers are currently calling for local contributions up until March 7, they said: “It’s an opportunity for Ireland to showcase the innovative steps being taken to support people walking and inspire other countries to action.”

...I'm sorry to disrupt you while you're reading this article, but without messages like this, IrishCycle.com's reader-funded journalism won't survive. With nearly 1/2 million views and 300k readers so-far this year, it's not just people who are dedicated to cycling that this website reaches. However, the number of subscribers is around 0.6% of readers. While having a large gap between readers/subscribers is standard for non-paywall reader-supported journalism, IrishCycle's journalism needs more support. Don't delay, support monthly or yearly today. Now, back to the article...

According to the organisers: “The goal for the coming weeks is to encourage leading advocates, academics, thought leaders, community and youth leaders, planners, health and built environment practitioners and politicians to apply to present. Engaging a diverse and dynamic body of speakers from all corners of Ireland will ensure an event that is both meaningful for local agendas and grows momentum for our communities.”

Submissions can be made via walk21.com.


...That's the end of the article. Keep scrolling if you want to the comments, but IrishCycle.com *NEEDS* readers like you to keep it that way. It only requires a small percentage of readers to give a bit each month or every year to keep IrishCycle.com's journalism open to all. Thank you.
