All you need to know to join us in Walk21 Kigali

The 23rd International Walk21 Conference on Walking and Liveable Communities is coming and we have some updates for your participation.

The 23rd International Walk21 Conference on Walking and Liveable Communities will be held between 16 and 19 October 2023. It will be hosted in the University of Rwanda, in partnership with the City of Kigali, UNEP and Walk21 Foundation, and it is the first Walk21 conference on the African continent.

The conference, held annually, draws on the best new research, policy and projects from around the world regarding everyone’s right to walk in a safe, inclusive and welcoming environment. The event also invites speakers to share findings, experiences and successes.

This year, together with experts from across Africa and around the globe, we will share insights and expertise on how to develop and implement walking policies and programmes that deliver walkable communities and safer streets, broader community participation and enhance the value of walking.
