The conference “Mobile Heritage: Walking and the environment through future and historical perspectives”, in Helsinki, Finland 16 -17. 09. 2024, addressed issues regarding the significance of walking for cultural heritage and conservation concerns. At the conference, there were several thematic clusters such as: Historical and Future Perspectives on Walking Cultural Heritage; Social and political perspectives on local and global walking practices; Future visions of sensitive landscapes, walking cultures, cultural heritage, and tourism; and Theoretical and methodological approaches to cultural heritage, movement, and walking. Two members of the ZRC SAZU research program “Heritage on the Margins” – Špela Ledinek Lozej and Nataša Rogelja Caf – presented their work within the last thematic cluster.

The conference was organized by the network “One by Walking” aiming for collaboration, discussion, and experimentation within the area of research methodologies concerned with walking and experimental scientific and art-based work related to walking methodologies.
