Building a Library of Moments
keeps us creative, collaborative and connected
To build a Library of Moments
Simply reflect on significant moments,
we can also make guides to learn from our experience
and maps to find our way forward
The library of moments from walks in development has
100’s of moments guides and maps
all on the back of a postcard!
Moments are the steps on our journey
the meaningful experiences, thoughts and ideas that occur to us
every moment can be a starting point for further development.
Build a Library of Moments
to collect everything we have learnt
and everything we want to learn
Keep a record of anything in development,
any outstanding issues, questions, tasks and ideas
Reflect on these moments at the start of each day
Choose which moments to focus on next
We are all in development
walking parallel paths
and asking the same questions on the way
Building a Library of Moments is a genuinely collaborative activity
that helps us design activities that are meaningful for everyone
Making guides helps us all find our way
We can create our own guides by taking a question for a walk
and allowing the moments we experience to guide us
As we walk, focus in turn on
our own development,
our impact on others
the wider implications of our actions
The Walks in Development Library of Moments includes guides to:
Value your experience
Navigate complexity and change
Find a positive way forward.
Maps are a simple way to organise all our development
They show us how each moment helps shape the people we become
and the communities we live in.
Maps help create the connection
that makes our actions meaningful
Maps can use the same ‘walking’ process as our guides
to help us find our way forward
The Walks in Development Library of Moments includes maps to:
Gather your research
Develop your practice
Make long-term plans
Keeping a journal helps keep us in development
Use a journal to
Record significant moments
Implement and revise your guides and maps
Identify next steps for the day ahead
Our collective journal has daily moments and weekly guides and maps to get us started
It helps us connect our journeys so that every moment
feeds into our long-term development
as individuals, groups and communities
Every moment contributes towards our shared library of moments

“I recommend Arts In Development as a tool for individuals and organisations, for one-to-one and cooperative working; his holistic approach helps untangle knots and brings out strengths with great positivity” (Tara Downs, Miniature Museum )
“David is quietly rebellious and innovative and has created a new model of creative development, based on walks. I’d recommend diving in deep to explore his approach” (Elspeth Penny, 2BU Productions)
Walks in development have been a source of exploration, a way to connect with other creatives and an amazing space for self discovery. David has a unique ability to create warm and welcoming environments that provide equal measures of support and motivation” (Grace Kress, ShelbyXStudios)
