This guide supports the Community Environmental Empowerment (CEE) project developed as a part of a Kenan Collaboratory Grant. The grant supports shared work between research partners from Duke University, UNC Chapel Hill, and NC State University working with Communities In Partnership (CIP) in Durham, NC.
Walking workshops ("Walkshops") help communities to identify places that reflect community issues and that can be used as experiential learning environments to raise community awareness.
This guide was developed to support a series of two capacity building workshops with local people. The first asks local people to use icons and maps to identify key issues and potential walking routes. The second assembles local people to participate in a walking workshop touring the places identified. Lessons learned will be translated into tools to further local environmental education efforts.
