Bring your community together

1. Plan for participation

Choose a route with clear meeting and ending points. Check access, rest opportunities, weather, local permissions, and a shorter or seated way to participate.

2. Set a welcoming tone

Explain the purpose, expected pace, duration, and contact details. Welcome different beliefs. Ask permission before taking or sharing photos.

3. Create room to listen

Begin with introductions and an invitation to listen respectfully. End with a short reflection. Share only information participants agree to make public.

Put it into practice

Use the worksheet to reflect or make a simple plan. The text file can be saved, edited, or printed.
