Jane's Walk

Share your Walk Experience

We can use social media to talk about our walks: it’s free, easy to use, and if we’re all doing it, we’ll make a big noise. So get tweeting, snap away and get your camera rolling - and share it with the world!

Twitter

Before, during and after the walk, use #janeswalk, and include your city’s Twitter account if there is one: @JanesWalkTO for Toronto, @JanesWalkLondon for London, @JanesWalkVAN for Vancouver...

Tips: Use other hashtag - #park, #walkability, #neighbourhood, #food... to highlight the theme of the walk and make your tweet appear in relevant searches. You can quote what’s being said, give your own impressions, publish photos... but if you’re not on Twitter then don’t worry, enjoy the walk!

Photos

Please take pictures and record videos, and lots of it! Group photos, people walking, interesting things that you discover on your walk... these are all gems, and we can create great online collections with images from all participating cities.

Tips: Ask people for permission if they feature prominently on your photo, and be respectful of their privacy if they’d rather not be on camera. Take lots of shots of the same scene, you’ll increase your chances to get a really great photo!

Videos

We’d love to create a video compilation of Jane’s Walks around the world, so we need your help! You don’t need professional equipment: you can use your phone to capture short interviews with the Walk Leader and other walkers. Questions could include; “What was your experience?”, “Why did you come on this walk?” or “What did you learn today?”

Tips: Try to keep your videos under 2-3 minutes, so film one question at a time, or a section of the Walk Leader presentation. Hold your camera steady and try to find a spot without too much background noise. If you’re new to this, you could try at home with a friend to see what works best, and search online for demonstrations and advice.
