Description

This experience, designed by Philadelphia based artist and Penn alumnus JJ Tiziou, will involve walking part of the perimeter of the city of Philadelphia. Reflection 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 edges 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 provided lunch, 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 this unconventional tour of 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 Upenn email is required to register. Space is limited, plesae let us know as soon as possible if your RSVP has changed. Please RSVP by Friday, September 30th for planning purposes. Penn is no longer requiring Penn Open Pass, but please do not come if you do not feel well.
