http://www.outofedenwalk.com/ Who are you? Where are you coming from? Where are you going? "These three questions are a feature of the milestones that help string together Paul Salopek's steps around the world: he poses them to the nearest human being he encounters each time he progresses one hundred miles (160km)." Paul Salopek began his epic journey around the world on foot in 2013. He began his journey in Ethiopia and will complete his journey at the southern tip of South America some time in 2020. We are going to join in with thousands of school children across the world and follow Paul's journey in real time. Our class will be participating in "walking parties" made up of approximately 6 different classes from around the world. We will interact with one another, complete activities, and share work on an "exciting digital platform." "So sit awhile at the campfire, and warm your hands."
