For the fourth week of the Simple Acts countdown we're calling on you to Walk & Talk 🚶‍♀️‍➡️

There is a particular magic to conversations that happen while walking. Walking in groups can be a wonderful way to make new friends, and walking side by side makes it easier to talk openly, listen with attention, and discover new perspectives.

When we walk without an agenda or destination, we create space for conversations where real depth, insight and understanding can emerge.

Ways to act simply:

1.) Go for a walk – slow down, be present and talk
2.) Explore a local green space or walk through your neighbourhood
3.) Walk in solidarity alongside those displaced

Throughout this week, we'll be sharing the voices of refugees & asylum seekers, collaborating with our national partners, and sharing some of the amazing things you're all up to. So, keep an eye out 👀.

'Walk & Talk' is one of nine Simple Acts you can do for Refugee Week (15-21 June).
