Walk Around Philadelphia 2022

The SNF Paideia program serves as a hub for civic dialogue in undergraduate education at Penn. In collaboration with other Penn programs and organizations, SNF Paideia provides opportunities for students to develop the knowledge, skills, ethical frameworks, and experiences necessary to be informed, engaged, and effective community members and leaders. We encourage the free exchange of ideas, civil and robust discussion of divergent views, and the integration of individual and community wellness, service, and citizenship through SNF Paideia designated courses, a fellows program, and campus events.

This experience, designed by Philadelphia based artist and Penn alumnus JJ Tiziou, will involve walking part of the perimeter of the city of Philadelphia. Reflecting SNF Paideia’s pillars of dialogue, wellness, service, and citizenship, the event welcomes Penn students, staff, and faculty to share a fall pilgrimage along the edge of Philadelphia. During this day long event, we will meet in the morning for light breakfast and a quick orientation to the walk, you will head out for about four hours of walking with a sack lunch provided, and we will reconvene to share stories over dinner.As members of the Penn community walk together in small groups, they will engage in reflective dialogue with themselves, each other, and the city, gaining a more nuanced understanding of the diverse landscape, history, terrain, and place that is Philadelphia. Through engagement with the city’s boundary, “Walk Around Philadelphia” aims to create a sense of place, a sense of belonging, and a sense of accomplishment. Participants may encounter a wide range of experiences prompting change and transformation along the way. T﻿his event is open to members of the Penn Community. A Penn email is required to register. Space is limited, please let us know as soon as possible if your RSVP has changed. P﻿lease RSVP by Friday, September 30th for planning purposes. P﻿enn no longer requires Penn Open Pass.
